Press Release PRESS RELEASE Exploring Saxony on the architecture trail London, February 2019. Splendid historic buildings, beautifully restored towns and some top-notch contemporary architecture – Saxony has it all. “The Architectural Landscape of Saxony”, a new, free brochure, for the first time collects everything worth knowing about the region’s architectural treasures in one place. The brochure, published by the Tourism Board of Saxony, is a handy tool for discerning travellers, inviting them to explore the region on the architecture trail. It provides a comprehensive overview of Saxony’s unique architectural heritage that spans a thousand years of outstanding building culture and offers deeper insights into individual periods and styles, including icons of Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, Art Nouveau, Bauhaus and contemporary architecture: Outstanding examples of medieval architecture Freiberg and Meissen are among the destinations to put on your architectural travel list to see some of the most impressive churches and cathedrals built in the Gothic style: Freiberg Cathedral is particularly famous for its “Golden Gate”, a significant work of Medieval art, as well as the imaginatively designed “Tulip Pulpit” (1505) and “Miner’s Pulpit” (1638), featuring ornate imagery. Meissen Cathedral (stunningly located on the Elbe river!) is known as one of the purest examples of Gothic architecture in Germany. Renaissance splendour For an entire town displaying Renaissance splendour, head to Torgau where the local Hartenfels Palace is also the biggest preserved early Renaissance palace in Germany. Further south along the river Elbe, Saxony’s capital Dresden enjoys worldwide fame for its beautiful Renaissance buildings including the Residenzschloss, or Royal Palace, a real feast for the eyes. Its courtyard, featuring delightful Sgraffito facades by Italian artists, and adjacent buildings such as the Stallhof, where in the 17th centuries horse shows were held, are further examples of the splendour at Dresden court. The Royal Palace was destroyed in 1945 and today, the majority of its rooms have been beautifully restored and house museums of the Dresden State Art Collections, such as the Historic and New Green Vault and the Rüstkammer as one of the most valuable collections of parade weaponry and costumes in the world. Currently still under restoration, the Royal Palace’s State Apartments will reopen in September 2019. Magical Baroque We stay in Dresden for some Baroque beauties: Jewel in the crown is the Zwinger Palace, a sensual, enticing and elegant ensemble of buildings placed around a large garden courtyard that features an array of orange trees. A fixture until the end of the 19th century, the trees were reinstalled in 2018. The Zwinger’s “Semperbau” (Semper Building), which is home to museums displaying treasures of the Dresden State Art Collections, has been under gradual renovation in recent years and will fully reopen in December 2019. Saxony’s kings also commissioned fortresses, hunting lodges and pleasure palaces in the Baroque style that are today popular sights, including Moritzburg Palace and Park, Pillnitz Palace and Park or Wackerbarth Palace in Radebeul. Art Nouveau in Saxony Not many know that one of the largest and most beautifully restored Art Nouveau districts in Europe can be found in Chemnitz, an hour west of Dresden: The elegant and well-proportioned Kassberg quarter is nowadays the city’s “posh” neighbourhood and for a touch of exuberance, head to Barbarossastrasse and marvel at the so-called “Majolikahaus” with its beautifully ornate glazed tiles. In complete contrast, Henry van de Velde-designed Villa Esche as an architectural monument of international renown exemplifies the strict and linear aspects of Art Nouveau. Once the residence of the local textile entrepreneur Herbert Eugen Esche and his family, it is now open to visitors. Bauhaus and icons of classical Modernism With the Bauhaus design school celebrating its 100th anniversary this year, the spotlight is also on Saxony’s Bauhaus heritage. Anyone interested in this period of renewal that was in art and design characterised by a pioneering spirit will find a number of hidden treasures in the region, including Germany’s first garden city “Hellerau” which was initiated by the “Deutsche Werkstätten für Handwerkskunst“ (German Workshops for Craftmanship). Take a walk through this Dresden district with its small houses and pretty front gardens and see how conveniently and purposefully this living and working space was laid out. Or take a closer look at some of Saxony’s eminent Modernist buildings, such as the former Schocken department store in Chemnitz that now houses the State Museum of Archaeology, or the Schminke House in Löbau, an outstanding example of the so-called “organic Modernism” in architecture that has been fully renovated in preparation for the “Bauhaus 100” year. The house is open to visitors and you can even spend the night there! Contemporary architecture Saxony’s innovative architectural side is displayed in a variety of creative designs: Examples are Volkswagen’s “Gläserne Manufaktur” (Transparent Factory), the Museum of Military History in Dresden where Daniel Libeskind added a transparent arrowhead to the neo-classicist facade as a striking element of innovation, Leipzig university’s new Paulinum building as well as the Porsche factory and “Museum der bildenden Künste” (fine arts) in Leipzig. Tip: architectural wonder Görlitz Walk no more than a few hundred metres in the eastern Saxon town of Görlitz and you’ll see architecture spanning half a millennium, including late Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque or Art Nouveau buildings. The city benefits from not having suffered a lot of damage during World War II and in the Old Town, visitors can marvel at the ornately decorated facades, artistic arches and painted ceilings of historic houses. Altogether around 4,000 lovingly restored historic buildings, more than in any other German city, offer unique insights into architectural history. Be inspired for your very own Saxony architecture trip and order “The Architectural Landscape of Saxony” brochure free of charge online or by mail, [email protected].

  • Meissen Masterpieces Exquisite and Rare Porcelain Models from the Royal House of Saxony to Be Offered at Christie’S London
    For Immediate Release 30 October 2006 Contact: Christina Freyberg +44 20 7 752 3120 [email protected] Alexandra Kindermann +44 20 7 389 2289 [email protected] MEISSEN MASTERPIECES EXQUISITE AND RARE PORCELAIN MODELS FROM THE ROYAL HOUSE OF SAXONY TO BE OFFERED AT CHRISTIE’S LONDON British and Continental Ceramics Christie’s King Street Monday, 18 December 2006 London – A collection of four 18th century Meissen porcelain masterpieces are to be offered for sale in London on 18 December 2006 in the British and Continental Ceramics sale. This outstanding Meissen collection includes two white porcelain models of a lion and lioness (estimate: £3,000,000-5,000,000) and a white model of a fox and hen (estimate: £200,000-300,000) commissioned for the Japanese Palace in Dresden together with a white element vase in the form of a ewer (£10,000-15,000). “The porcelain menagerie was an ambitious and unparalleled project in the history of ceramics and the magnificent size of these models is a testament to the skill of the Meissen factory,” said Rodney Woolley, Director and Head of European Ceramics. “The sheer exuberance of these examples bears witness to the outstanding modelling of Kirchner and Kändler. The opportunity to acquire these Meissen masterpieces from the direct descendants of Augustus the Strong is unique and we are thrilled to have been entrusted with their sale,” he continued. The works of art have been recently restituted to the heirs of the Royal House of Saxony, the Wettin family. Commenting on the Meissen masterpieces, a spokesperson for the Royal House of Saxony said: “The Wettin family has worked closely, and over many years with the authorities to achieve a successful outcome of the restitution of many works of art among which are these four Meissen porcelain objects, commissioned by our forebear Augustus the Strong.

  • Local Romanesque Architecture in Germany and Its Fifteenth-Century Reinterpretation
    Originalveröffentlichung in: Enenkel, Karl A. E. ; Ottenheym, Konrad A. (Hrsgg.): The quest for an appropriate past in literature, art and architecture, Leiden 2019, S. 511-585 (Intersections ; 60) chapter 19 Translating the Past: Local Romanesque Architecture in Germany and Its Fifteenth-Century Reinterpretation Stephan Hoppe The early history of northern Renaissance architecture has long been pre- sented as being the inexorable occurrence of an almost viral dissemination of Italian Renaissance forms and motifs.1 For the last two decades, however, the interconnected and parallel histories of enfolding Renaissance humanism have produced new analytical models of reciprocal exchange and of an ac- tively creative reception of knowledge, ideas, and texts yet to be adopted more widely by art historical research.2 In what follows, the focus will be on a particular part of the history of early German Renaissance architecture, i.e. on the new engagement with the historical – and by then long out-of-date – world of Romanesque architectural style and its possible connections to emerging Renaissance historiography 1 Cf.
