Moritzmonument, Dresden, Heritage monument at Terrassenufer, Dresden, Germany.
The sandstone monument stretches across the Jungfernbastei wall of Brühl Terrace, measuring 6 meters in height and 3 meters in width.
Created in 1555 by sculptor Hans Walther II, the monument depicts Elector Maurice presenting the Saxon electoral sword to his brother Augustus.
The detailed inscriptions on the monument document the life events of Elector Maurice, including his birth in 1521 and leadership at age 21.
The monument stands protected under Brühl's Terrace, with the original piece preserved in a protective case since 2000 and replaced by a replica.
The central figures include representations of Agnes von Hessen as a widow and Anne of Denmark in court dress, flanking the main scene.
