Dresden. Ein Kind bewundert den Fürstenzug.

            Der "Dresdner Fürstenzug" besteht aus 23.000 Fliesen, die aus Meißener Porzellan gefertigt sind. Das Bildwerk ziert die Seitenwand des Stallhofs der Dresdner Residenz. Es ist 102 Meter lang und mehr als 10 Meter hoch. Es zeigt alle 35 Markgrafen, Herzöge, Kurfürsten und Könige, die zwischen 1127 und 1873 in Sachsen regierten und dem Fürstenhaus Wettin angehörten. Das Bild wurde von Wilhelm Walther entworfen und zunächst in Sgraffito-Technik ausgeführt. Es hielt allerdings nicht der Witterung stand und wurde deshalb zwischen 1904 und 1907 in einem neu entwickelten Verfahren als Porzellanmalerei erneuert. Es gilt als das größte Porzellanbild der Welt.

The “Dresden Princely Procession” consists of 23,000 tiles made from Meissen porcelain. The work adorns the side wall of the stable yard of the Dresden Residenz. It is 102 meters long and more than 10 meters high. You can see all 35 margraves, dukes, electors and kings who ruled in Saxony between 1127 and 1873 and belonged to the Princely House of Wettin. The picture was designed by Wilhelm Walther and initially executed using the sgraffito technique. However, it did not withstand the weather and was therefore renovated as porcelain painting between 1904 and 1907 using a newly developed process. It is considered the largest porcelain picture in the world.
