Tablet use will be included in the admission price as standard:. THE AUGMENTED VISIT OF THE ALBRECHTSBURG 04 CASTLE A spectacular journey through time The HistoPad breaks new ground in museum presentation and takes visitors on a spectacular journey through time to the 15th/16th, 19th and 20th centuries to experience the history of Albrechtsburg Castle and Saxony in a new way. Eight time gates in different rooms transport visitors to 360°-3D reconstructions of the castle halls, such as the banquet in honor of Frederick the Wise in 1493, the capsule room of the porcelain factory in the 19th century or the Great Hall in 1875, when the castle was transformed into a museum of Saxon history. Interactive and playful: With the HistoPad, visitors rediscover the richness of Saxony's cultural heritage and take a look into Saxony's illustrious past. Thanks to geolocation and on-site 3D reconstructions, it is quite easy: visitors can navigate through the building, compare today's structure with its past form, function and furnishings and experience the most important sights in 3D replicas; they will find short explanatory texts, of course, but above all they can move interactive objects and view historical sources that made the reconstructions possible in the first place. How were the ladies at the court of the Duchess Sidonia dressed? Which meals were served, on which tableware? And what were they drinking from? How was the world-famous Meissen porcelain manufacture set up in the castle? Where were masterpieces of art hidden during the Second World War? All these questions are answered by HistoPad, a tablet guide that has been causing a buzz in France since 2013. 3D reconstruction of the banquet organized by Duchess Sidonia in 1493 3D reconstruction of the Modeler’s Room in 1840 THE AUGMENTED VISIT OF THE ALBRECHTSBURG 05 CASTLE Rich and interactive THE CASTLE IN 3D Two interactive 3D models show the castle as a porcelain factory in the 19th century and as an art hideaway in 1943, enabling visitors to follow the path of porcelain production in the castle for the first time and to research the works of art hidden here during the Second World War. SHOWCASING COLLECTIONS Short and comprehensible texts as well as high- resolution pictures enable visitors to explore selected exhibits as well as the wall paintings and the architecture of the castle. Whether in immersive 3D replicas or in 360° images of the current rooms - visitors can click on the elements indicated by an icon to better understand the history and exhibits. THE GALLERY OF CELEBRITIES Duke Albert, Arnold of Westphalia, Johann Joachim Kändler... From individual Wettinians to architects, painters and sculptors and even the caretaker Max Vötchen, numerous personalities have shaped the history of Albrechtsburg Castle. The Gallery of Celebrities dedicates a short biographical note to 13 of them. THE AUGMENTED VISIT OF THE ALBRECHTSBURG 06 CASTLE Playful and easy HISTORICAL SELFIE As a souvenir of their visit to Albrechtsburg Castle, visitors can also take a "historical selfie", in which they slip into the role of one of the historical personalities. Visitors receive their selfie by email and can share it with their friends via social media.

  • 4 the Structural Framework of Governance
    4 The structural framework of governance The last few decades of historical research have been focused on social interactions as a key issue in the research on the past. Medievalists have withdrawn to large extent from studying constitutional and legal matters, leaving such topics behind as some sort of anachronistic holdover of positivistic methodology. It seems, however, that there is no way for a study of political issues to abandon questions of the structural means of power – as defined in Chapter 1 – as an important element of the instrumentarium of particular players on the dynamic chessboard of the European High Middle Ages. These means, including changes and redefinitions of the legal status of the province under study, were an indispensable counterpart of the ad hoc political and personal measures related to in the previous chapter. 4.1 Marchia Milzania: the status of Milsko in the structure of the Ottonian and early Salian Empire The starting point for considerations about the formal status of Milsko as part of the Empire should be the assertion from Chapter 3 that between 1004–1007, Milsko for the first time became a territory administered by an individual appointed by the German king as comes, Herman I. Herman’s status as a royal administrator is illustrated in several sources. The most significant of these is a charter by Henry II from January 1, 1007 (DH II, no. 124) confirming the donation by the king of three ringforts (castella) in Milsko along with their districts (burgwards) to the Bishopric of Meissen.

  • The Japanese Palace in Dresden: a Highlight of European 18Th-Century
    都市と伝統的文化 The ‘Japanese Palace’ in Dresden: A Highlight of European 18th-century Craze for East-Asia. Cordula BISCHOFF Dresden, seat of government and capital of present-day federal state Saxony, now benefits more than any other German city from its past as a royal residence. Despite war-related destructions is the cityscape today shaped by art and architecture with a history of 500 years. There is possibly no other place in Germany where to find so many exceptional artworks concentrated in such a small area. This accumulation is a result of the continuosly increasing significance of the Dresden court and a gain in power of the Saxon Wettin dynasty. The Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation was a conglomeration of more than 350 large and tiny territories. The 50 to 100 leading imperial princes struggled in a constant competition to maintain their positions. １） In 1547 the Saxon Duke Moritz（1521-1553）was declared elector. Thus Saxony gained enormous political significance, as the seven, in 18th century nine electors, were the highest-ranking princes. They elected the Roman-German emperor and served as his innermost councils. The electors of Saxony and of the Palatinate were authorised to represent the emperor in times of vacancy. At the same time in 16th century Saxony rose due to its silver mining industry to one of the richest German territorial states. ２） In the second half of the 17th century the Saxon court even counted among the most important European courts. A peak of political power was reached under Frederick August（us）I.

WWW.MEISSEN.COM 1 AM-000076 TABLEWARE MEISSEN® COSMOPOLITAN STAATLICHE PORZELLAN-MANUFAKTUR MEISSEN GMBH 2 3 ABOUT US Meissen Porcelain Manufactory Meissen porcelain was born out of passion. Augustus the Strong (1670- 1733), Elector of Saxony, zealously pursued the so-called white gold after becoming struck with “Maladie de Porcelaine.” It was for him that alchemist Johann Friedrich Böttger (1682-1719) created the first European porcelain in 1708. At MEISSEN, this storied passion remains the fundament of the manufactory’s masterful works up to this day. More than 300 years of tra- dition and exquisite craftsmanship, unbounded imagination and an avowed dedication to modernity come together to create a timeless aesthetic that can be lived and experienced – every piece handmade in Germany. In 1710, Augustus the Strong decreed the founding of the Meissen porce- lain manufactory, making it the oldest in Europe. The signet of two crossed swords has been the unmistakable trademark of Meissen porcelain since 1722. The swords represent the uncompromising quality, unsurpassed craftsmanship and cultural heritage to which MEISSEN remains committed to this day: from the purest raw material sourced from the manufactory’s own kaolin mine, the world’s largest and oldest trove of moulds, models, patterns and decorations spanning centuries of artistic epochs, to the 10,000 proprietary paint formulas created in the on-site laboratory. And last but not least, they stand for the unsurpassed handicraft, experience and dedication of the manufactory’s artisans, lending every Meissen piece its one-of-a-kind beauty.

  • Meissen Expert Advisers Statement.Pdf
    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. Brief Description of Item[from the vendor’s description] A Meissen Böttger stoneware figure of ‘Pulcinell’, from the Commedia dell’arte, partly polished and with original colouring. 16.4cm high, 85.cm wide, 8.2cm deep. Circa 1710-13 ‘Some surface wear to the colours, slight crack in upper right arm’. 2. Context Provenance: English private collection [to be confirmed by the Arts Council]. Exhibition History: n/a? Bibliography/ literature: [on the handful of related items, as this piece seems to be a new discovery] Willi Goder, Klaus Hoffmann [et al.].Johann Friedrich Böttger : die Erfindung des Europäischen Porzellans /Stuttgart, , 1982, p.251. The assessor has used the French edition of 1984 Meredith Chilton, Harlequin Unmasked; The commedia dell’arte and porcelain sculpture, Yale University Press, 2001, p.163 3. Waverley Criteria This figure meets both Waverley Criterion 2 and 3. In its contraposto pose and superior modelling [probably by a German court sculptor], the figure has an excellent claim to be considered of outstanding aesthetic importance, thus meeting the Waverley 2 criterion. It is from a factory which is regarded as one of the leading 18th century ceramic factories, not least because it has the reputation of being the first factory in Europe to make true hard –paste porcelain like the Chinese. There are of course Meissen figures in British collections, but almost invariably of the later enamelled porcelain body, and not of this early experimental ‘stoneware’ body. In subject matter it is the very first of what became a recognized genre: the commedia dell’ arte figure, leading to the porcelain figures of Harlequin, Columbine, Pantaloon etc of the mid to later 18th century , thus fulfilling the criterion set out in Waverley 3.
