概要

クイックファクト: Stretching 102 meters across the wall of Dresden's royal palace, this porcelain procession features 93 life-sized figures on roughly 24,000 Meissen porcelain tiles. Each figure represents a Wettin ruler or notable figure, marching chronologically from the 12th century through the early 1900s.

見どころ: Most visitors don't notice that the ceramic tiles actually survived the 1945 firebombing of Dresden virtually intact, while the entire palace around them collapsed. The tiles only needed a gentle cleaning with water to remove soot, emerging as one of the few original pre-war surfaces still visible in the city today.

インサイダーヒント

Bring a zoom lens or use your phone's zoom to spot the tiny gold-leaf accents on individual tiles that you'd miss with the naked eye.
Stand at the far left end (Neumarkt side) first to see the figures in chronological order from oldest to most recent.
Skip midday visits in summer when tour groups crowd the narrow sidewalk in front of the mural.
Combine this with the nearby Royal Palace tour to see the original Renaissance architecture that matches the figures shown on the tiles.
