The Fürstenzug

The Fürstenzug, or the Procession of Princes, is a mural of the rulers of Saxony from 1127-1904. It's located on the outer wall of the Stallhof, and stretches 335. Made of 23,000 porcelain tiles, it's largest work of its kind in the world. It portrays thirty-five margraves, electors, dukes and kings of the Wettin family, and was commissioned in celebration of the 800th anniversary of the dynasty.

It escaped damage during the February 1945 firebombing. We walked it backwards, twice. Once at night when we did a hand-shaky bad phone video, linked below at youtube because it's too long. We went back in the daytime to take stills, and again did it backwards, though we didn't take each of the thirty-five rulers.
