In the Augustusstrasse, at the back side of the Langer Gang (long corridor) at the Royal Mews, a 102 meter (334ft) long mural decorates the wall. Known as the Procession of Princes or Fürstenzug in German, it depicts a parade of rulers of the House of Wettin since 1127. In total 93 people are portrayed on the mural. The 35 noblemen - princes, dukes, margraves and kings - are shown on horseback while foot soldiers and other people accompany them. The name of each ruler is inscribed below his image. (Aug. 2007)
The Fürstenzug (English: Procession of Princes) in Dresden, Germany, is a large mural of a mounted procession of the rulers of Saxony. It was originally painted between 1871 and 1876 to celebrate the 800th anniversary of the Wettin Dynasty, Saxony's ruling family. In order to make the work weather proof, it was replaced with about 23,000 Meissen porcelain tiles between 1904 and 1907. With a length of 102 metres (335 ft), it is known as the largest porcelain artwork in the world. The mural displays the ancestral portraits of the 35 margraves, electors, dukes and kings of the House of Wettin between 1127 and 1904.
The Fürstenzug is located on the outer wall of the Stallhof (Stables Courtyard) of Dresden Castle.
By 1589, the outer wall of the recently built Stallhof (Stables Courtyard) of the Dresden Castle was already decorated with a fresco.[1][2]
For the upcoming 800th anniversary of the House of Wettin in 1889, another stucco version of a large-scale mural was commissioned. It was painted by the artist Wilhelm Walther between 1871 and 1876. Since the picture rapidly deteriorated, it was replaced with about 23,000 Meissen porcelain tiles between 1904 and 1907.[3] The mural depicts the 35 Saxon margraves, electors, dukes and kings from Conrad, Margrave of Meissen, who ruled in the 12th century, to George of Saxony who was king for only two years in the 20th century. The only ones missing are Heinrich I von Eilenburg (c. 1089) and the last king of Saxony, Frederick Augustus III, who ruled from 1904 to 1918. Also shown are 59 scientists, artisans, craftsmen, children and farmers.[2]
Only minimal damage to the tiles resulted from the February 13, 1945 bombing of Dresden.

路邊賣卡片的那家攤子的主人頭髮幾乎全白了。他不講英文。卡片只賣三角錢一張。他揀走我攤在手裏的一堆硬幣中的兩枚，把卡片放入紙口袋遞給我，和氣溫良地笑了一下。我像被釘在那裏，一個強烈的 déjà vu - 他的笑容那麽像誰？苦思良久，想起那是 Bruno Ganz。
