Take, for example, the recent wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan, the parade through Windsor and Elton John\u2019s performance in their honour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was a similar situation in 1719. The exchange of vows was a comparatively low-key affair \u2013 Friedrich August II and Maria Josepha had already officially wed in Vienna. However, it had been agreed that the celebrations should take place in Dresden, and that these should outshine anything seen before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"718\" src=\"https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/C6684DetailKopie-1024x718.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8252\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/C6684DetailKopie-1024x718.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/C6684DetailKopie-300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/C6684DetailKopie-768x539.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/C6684DetailKopie-391x274.jpg 391w, https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/C6684DetailKopie-592x415.jpg 592w, https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/C6684DetailKopie-970x681.jpg 970w, https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/C6684DetailKopie-640x449.jpg 640w, https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/C6684DetailKopie-360x253.jpg 360w, https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/C6684DetailKopie-1536x1078.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/C6684DetailKopie-2048x1437.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/C6684DetailKopie-983x690.jpg 983w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption> A detail from the tableau Ankunft der Diana auf der Elbe (Arrival of Diana on the Elbe) shows the goddess of hunting delivering a speech to open the festivities. Diana expresses the hope that Maria Josepha may give Germany many new heroes. \u00a9 Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden, Herbert Boswank (herbert@boswank.de) <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On 31st August, the bridal couple set foot on Saxon soil. Their arrival was an event in itself. The normally sleepy town of Pirna on the banks of the Elbe had been designated as the assembly point for a fleet of river craft, because the \u2018baroque jet set\u2019 wished to cover the last stage of the journey by water. A long procession of magnificent gondolas awaited them \u2013 the Wettin\u2019s own version of Venice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This year marks the 300th anniversary of the royal wedding, and many of its features are being recreated. For starters, the water parade&nbsp;<strong><em>Lustgondeln anno 1719<\/em><\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>(Pleasure gondolas 1719-style) will be staged on 25th August<\/strong><strong>,<\/strong>&nbsp;and Pirna will be decorated in baroque fashion. The 1719-themed celebrations will get underway on the marketplace&nbsp;<strong>at 10am.&nbsp;<\/strong>There will be ongoing dance classes, because this is a key element of a wedding party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The river parade will be led off by the MS S\u00e4chsische Schweiz (\u2018Saxon Switzerland\u2019)&nbsp;<strong>at 2pm<\/strong>. Pride of place in the fleet goes to four replicas of historic gondolas. The Pfauengondel (Peacock Gondola), a particular favourite of Augustus the Strong, and the Venetian gondola have been specially constructed for the wedding anniversary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The organisers have, of course, taken a few artistic liberties. The gondolas look true to the original, but they do not have to rely on physical strength alone: state-of-the-art electric motors will assist the rowers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And in any case, the occasion will not be 100% authentic. The monarchy is long gone, and the parade is open to all, i.e. anyone who has a riverworthy vessel can simply tag along behind, with no prior registration required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the halfway point is Pillnitz, which will also be decked out as part of the baroque spectacle. And when the parade eventually moors alongside the Dresden Terrassenufer, the party will change to another mode of transportation and proceed through the Old Town to the Zwinger in a convoy of festive carriages. The event will begin to wind down<strong>&nbsp;from 6pm<\/strong>, but before that, there will be ample opportunities for revellers to take selfies in baroque costumes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Rolls-Royce among carriages<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The carriages will process only once through the streets of Dresden, but from 30th August onwards you can find out more about the means of transport used in the 18th century.&nbsp;<em>Von Prunkgondeln, Prachtkutschen und Pferde\u00e4pfeln \u2013 Unterwegs zur Jahrhunderthochzeit 1719<\/em>&nbsp;(Of gondolas, state carriages and horse manure: En route to the wedding of the century in 1719) is the title of an exhibition which can be visited in the Transport Museum until April 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Kutsche-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8230\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Kutsche-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Kutsche-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Kutsche-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Kutsche-391x220.jpg 391w, https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Kutsche-592x333.jpg 592w, https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Kutsche-970x546.jpg 970w, https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Kutsche-640x360.jpg 640w, https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Kutsche-360x203.jpg 360w, https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Kutsche-1227x690.jpg 1227w, https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Kutsche-1260x709.jpg 1260w, https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Kutsche-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Kutsche-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Kutsche.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption> Travelling in style: Dresden Transport Museum takes a look at the luxurious carriages of the 18th century \u00a9 Arcibiskupstv\u00ed olomouck\u00e9<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, the biggest party far and wide had a long guest list. In addition to the thousands of princes, counts and barons together with their entourages, the city was packed with merchants and showmen \u2013 plus, of course, an audience from all over the world who did not want to miss out on the baroque entertainments. How did they travel to the venue, what were the various modes of transport, and what sort of infrastructure was put in place for the wedding?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Transport Museum reconstructs the vehicles that made their way along the bumpy roads of Saxony. The showpieces of the exhibition are the luxury \u2018limousines\u2019 of yesteryear: the open carriage of Augustus the Strong is adorned with gold and exudes an aura of wealth. The Grand Carosse with its velvet upholstery carried Maria Josepha. In the atrium of the Transport Museum, the carriages are brought to life by means of&nbsp;<em>augmented reality,<\/em>&nbsp;a technique that takes visitors back in time to 300 years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tour of the royal accommodation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Parades on water, parades through the streets \u2013 all that\u2019s missing is a \u2018Parade Appartment\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the name that was given to the bridal suite prepared by Augustus the Strong for his son and new daughter-in-law within the Residenzschloss in 1719. Everything about the rooms was designed to impress, to flaunt wealth and to enhance the standing of the family among the European nobility. Richly decorated wallpaper, sumptuous furniture, metre-high ceilings \u2013 the influence of Versailles is unmistakable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"733\" src=\"https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Paradeschlafzimmer_Visualisierung-1024x733.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6814\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Paradeschlafzimmer_Visualisierung-1024x733.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Paradeschlafzimmer_Visualisierung-300x215.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Paradeschlafzimmer_Visualisierung-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Paradeschlafzimmer_Visualisierung-391x280.jpg 391w, https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Paradeschlafzimmer_Visualisierung-592x423.jpg 592w, https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Paradeschlafzimmer_Visualisierung-970x694.jpg 970w, https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Paradeschlafzimmer_Visualisierung-640x458.jpg 640w, https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Paradeschlafzimmer_Visualisierung-360x258.jpg 360w, https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Paradeschlafzimmer_Visualisierung-1536x1099.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Paradeschlafzimmer_Visualisierung-2048x1465.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Paradeschlafzimmer_Visualisierung-965x690.jpg 965w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption> A visualisation of the State Apartment: From autumn, this restored suite will be open to the public \u00a9 mic-vis.de, Studio f\u00fcr Visualisierung Berlin <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rooms did not survive the air raid of February 1945. But now, after ten years of intricate restoration work, they are almost ready to be admired in their original glory. The bed slept on by the royal couple has been faithfully recreated. The festive garments on display are the actual originals. The robes that Augustus the Strong wore for his own coronation and for the wedding of his son are a masterpiece of European textile art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Public tours of the State Apartment in the Residenzschloss begin on 30th September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A castle doubles up as a video screen<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It wasn\u2019t just the State Apartment in the Residenzschloss that was inspired by the French royal court. Schloss Hubertusburg, the magnificent hunting lodge of the Wettin family, was also considered to be a \u2018Saxon Versailles\u2019. Augustus the Strong had it built in 1721 for his son, who subsequently had the country retreat adapted to his own tastes. It even had its own opera house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"436\" src=\"https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Schloss_Hubertusburg_web-1024x436.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8241\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Schloss_Hubertusburg_web-1024x436.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Schloss_Hubertusburg_web-300x128.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Schloss_Hubertusburg_web-768x327.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Schloss_Hubertusburg_web-391x166.jpg 391w, https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Schloss_Hubertusburg_web-592x252.jpg 592w, https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Schloss_Hubertusburg_web-970x413.jpg 970w, https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Schloss_Hubertusburg_web-640x272.jpg 640w, https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Schloss_Hubertusburg_web-360x153.jpg 360w, https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Schloss_Hubertusburg_web-1500x638.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Schloss_Hubertusburg_web-1536x654.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/dresden-magazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Schloss_Hubertusburg_web-2048x872.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption> Hubertusburg, former hunting lodge built for the Prince-Elector of Saxony and King of Poland \u00a9 SKD, Photo: J\u00f6rg Sch\u00f6ner<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But over the centuries, its glory faded.
