The partial destruction of the north and west wings in the 17th century during the Thirty Years War left the castle with the image of a romantic ruin which it has kept over the centuries to today. Except for a stillborn project by Karl Friedrich Schinkel in 1828, until now no integral work has been planned to alter and enlarge the ancient ruin for the art museum housed there since 1904.
elevationsA very notable collection of modern art - mainly of German Expressionism - that includes works painted by Lyonel Feininger in the city of Halle has now been enlarged with the Gerlinger donation, one of the most valuable private collections of the Die Brücke Expressionist group.

A fascinating snapshot of Dvořák from a Saxony festival
Description: A fascinating snapshot of Dvořák from a Saxony festival
Kevin Zhu (violins) Matthew Lipman (viola) Jan Vogler (cello) Juho Pohjonen
Works: Dvořák: Piano Quartet no.2 in E flat major; Piano Trio in E minor ‘Dumky’; Scherzo (Terzetto in C major); Gypsy Song op.55 no.4 (arr
This CD claims to tell the story of Dvořák’s chamber music
although it opens with the fourth of his Gypsy Songs arranged for cello and piano
played with appropriate feeling by Jan Vogler
A violent opening outburst to the E flat major Piano Quartet no.2 sets up playing of constant vivid contrasts and biting
leavened by passages of vibrato-rich warmth
The emotional energy is maintained in the Lento
from Vogler’s yearning opening melody through to the ferocious outbreak of C sharp minor
In the Allegro moderato the musicians evoke the schmaltzy world of Viennese coffee houses
and the finale offers a jaunty resolution to earlier tensions

art lovers and horse fanciers – they all find what they are looking for in Moritzburg
Because this small town in Saxon Elbland has much more to offer than its stately home
An excursion should also take in the stud farm
Adams Gasthof inn and well-stocked fish ponds
The most well-known view of Moritzburg is of the castle set on its artificial island surrounded by a large pond
It was initially the site of a hunting lodge built in 1542 by Duke Moritz of Saxony
Elector Augustus the Strong began converting the original Renaissance-style structure north of Dresden to the Baroque country palace we see today
It is a popular destination for day trippers
the Fasanenschlösschen (Little Pheasant Castle) in the castle grounds will be showing 100 large-format colour slides dating back to the period around 1900 (1st May – 31st October 2018)
They tell of the beauty of the royal gardens
and of the forest and pond landscape that characterises Moritzburg
Castle triathlon
the Moritzburg Castle Triathlon will take place for the 17th time against the impressive backdrop of the baroque hunting lodge (9th – 10th June 2018)
the event takes on a new format – the so‑called ‘BarockMan Duett’ in which two-person teams share a long-distance challenge
Moritzburg Festival
The Moritzburg Festival is conceived by its organisers as both an experimental laboratory and a gathering of excellence
Peter Bruns and Jan Vogler – modelled it on the famous Marlboro Festival in the USA
Under the artistic direction of the cellist Jan Vogler
it has become one of the world’s most acclaimed chamber music festivals
Walk with the Brücke
The artists who came together under the name ‘Brücke’ (Bridge) in Dresden in 1905 rank among the most important exponents of Expressionism in Germany
These famous artists would gather each summer in Moritzburg to paint and share their ideas on art
The views they captured on canvas can be revisited on foot
Stallion parades
The state stud farm of Moritzburg was founded in 1733 and is home to more than 80 stallions
To ensure that they are fit for breeding purposes
Lord Brown II and their ilk can often be seen trotting through the streets
Just a few hundred metres from the stud farm itself is the parade ground
where the three stallion parades held every September attract more than 17,000 visitors
Commemorating Käthe Kollwitz
Käthe Kollwitz (1867 – 1945) is the most important German female graphic artist and sculptor of the 20th century
The house in Moritzburg where she died is open to the public
photographs and excerpts from the Käthe Kollwitz’s diary and letters gives an insight into her artistic career which spanned more than 50 years
Adams Gasthof (Adam’s Inn)
Regulars at the bar here have included boxer Max Schmeling and film star Henny Porten
It has been licensed for the sale of alcohol since 1675

Laying your eyes on the baroque beauty of Moritzburg Castle with its lush landscape
beautiful architecture and well-preserved historical interior
you’d rather expect it to host the set of a fairytale movie or a period piece
the baroque building formed the backdrop for the action-packed showdown of Charlie’s Angels
The Saxon castle acts as character Alexander Brok’s wealthy holiday home in the ski resort of Chamonix-Mont-Blanc in France
the place where Brok celebrates his annual Vision Party
Epic fight scenes between the angels and their nemeses are framed by a large collection of historical red deer antlers
crystal chandeliers and walls full of 17th century leather tapestries with monumental figurative paintings
which contrast beautifully with the ultramodern party scenes
The film shooting took place over a period of 10 days in 2018
mainly in the castle’s Dining Hall (Speisesaal) and Hall of Monstrosities (Monstroesensaal)
Moritzburg Castle might feel familiar to a lot of European film fans: it is where Cinderella famously lost her shoe in the popular Czech-German winter family film “Three Wishes for Cinderella” / “Drei Haselnuesse für Aschenbroedel” / “Tři oříšky pro Popelku” from 1973
which became a Christmas holiday classic in several European countries

The Dorothy Braude Edinburg (Class of 1942) Collection 1980.126
Käthe Kollwitz became an anti-war activist after her son died during World War I (1914-1918)
in order to capture the despair felt by impoverished families in postwar Germany
In this preparatory sketch for an International Workers Aid poster
a mother passes a piece of bread behind her back to the crying child on the right
having already given the rest to the other child still begging for more
With pleading expressions the two children look up at their mother
who slumps over and covers her face in despair
This emotional and highly political drawing reveals how Kollwitz channeled her experience as both an artist and mother into the role of activist
working towards an end to the suffering of Germany’s children

cellist and artistic director of the Moritzburg Festival in Dresden
Franz Schubert composed one of the most famous and beautiful pieces of chamber music ever written
but Schubert evidently wrote it for a group of musicians who had gathered to play another composer's piece
and those just happened be their instruments
The piece's fourth movement consists of a theme and variations
the tune of which Schubert had previously written as an adaptation of a poem called "The Trout." The verses depict a coldblooded angler as he hooks a merry fish
Cellist Jan Vogler, artistic director of the Moritzburg Festival just outside Dresden, Germany, devoted special attention to the Trout Quintet at this year's festival. The result is a new recording that begins with a traditional performance and doesn't stop there
Amid the festival's idyllic surroundings of Baroque castles and cavernous
Vogler asked each of the ensemble's five international soloists to come up with their own variation on the piece
"We can give a personal note to ["The Trout"] and can say
'This is the way I see this song — this is where I come from
or what interests me in life,' " Vogler says
"The listener can have an idea of who these performers are who come together for the Trout Quintet
and also can see that one can still write some variations on this wonderful song."
the musicians were skeptical of Vogler's idea to put a classical performer's personal or playful spin on the revered and historic piece: It sounds like a challenge we often associate with other art forms
If Schubert had intended to unveil "The Trout" at a recital featuring only a viola and a Norwegian Hardanger fiddle (a Scandinavian folk instrument)
the outcome might have been something like the variation created by fiddler Erik Sollid and violist Lars Anders Tomter; it's reminiscent of a clog dance
"It does sound like some Norwegian fjord," Vogler says
Given how popular this particular piece was to become
Schubert may have never envisioned that he was composing something that nearly 200 years later would be a staple of chamber music
and to feel very strongly about the music you're producing," Vogler says
Why shouldn't we play with this song?' and show that we still
besides taking the music very seriously."

The Moritzburg castle in the city of Halle is exemplary of the Gothic military architecture in 15th century Germany
Despite the partial destruction of the north and west wings during the Thirty Years War
the site has managed to retain most of its original features: a surrounding wall
three of the four round towers at the corners
But more importantly, the castle has been home to an art museum since 1904. The challenge arose when this exhibition space needed to be expanded, without modifying or adding onto the original columns. With some genius and creativity, Nieto Sobejano Arquitectos created a new exhibition space based on a single
© Laurian GhinitoiuThe Moritzburg castle was already host to a notable collection of modern art, mostly German Expressionism paintings, for over a century. So when the museum received a large donation by one of the most valuable private collections of the Die Brücke Expressionist group, they knew they would need more space to accommodate these incoming works.
© Laurian GhinitoiuNieto Sobejano Arquitectos' solution was to design a new roof as a large platform, and fold it so that it rises and breaks to allow natural light to enter. In doing so, the original floor was left untouched, and no columns needed to be inserted into the main gallery.
© Laurian GhinitoiuThe visual geometry of an angular metal tower built along the castle's existing irregular shape and high roofs creates an interesting new aspect to the castle. The architects believe that these new developments will only to add to the interesting history of the Moritzburg Castle over time, and enhance the image of the romantic ruin.
these musicians had played there and had very much liked the atmosphere and the concept behind that festival
a masterpiece of Baroque architecture built by King Augustus II the Strong
the festival has become a touchstone for chamber music
and the related concerts take place in key locations in and around Dresden
Beside high-level chamber music musicians and attractive program
the festival stands out also because of its academy
in which experienced professional soloists supervise or perform together with young performers
There are around fifty such “academicians.” Together
they also comprise the orchestra that performs the festival's opening concert
was brought to a peak in the quality of dialogue among the soloists by these five musicians as they challenged each other's energy and dynamics
The next day
a room in Moritzburg Castle that is as majestic as it is impressive
this room is indeed a special setting for any concert
attentive in her accompaniment to the contrasting spirits of these scores
Her voice wended its way into the twists and turns of the spells cast by the instrumentalists before getting lost in the ghostly shadows of the castle
As a conclusion, all these virtuosi joined together with pianist Antti Siirala to play Dvořák's Piano Quintet in a frenzy of musical fireworks
In addition to each musician's individual qualities
the harmony of their work together was remarkable
Far too unknown in the French-speaking world, the Moritzburg Festival is definitely a landmark event for the quality of its programming and for an atmosphere in which music and art are bound together. With more than twenty years behind it and led by the ever-energetic and communicative Jan Vogler
this festival can always be relied on to be full of surprises and discoveries

and enjoyable disc played by a couple of musicians from whom we can expect continued big things in the future
What can one say about Jan Vogler’s recent recording (from Sony Classical) of solo cello music by Tchaikovsky
That it’s smartly-played is to be expected: Vogler’s an intelligent and capable musician and he doesn’t fail to deliver here
The famous Variations on a Rococo Theme sing sweetly and clearly
There’s lovely dialogue between soloist and orchestra (here the warm
vibrant Frankfurt Radio Symphony conducted by Andres Orozco-Estrada) in their conversational exchanges
not to mention plenty of energy that’s tapped over the course of the score’s near-twenty-minute duration; the closing pages are particularly exciting
And there’s a nice intensity to Vogler’s playing of the Serenade mélancolique and Souvenir d’un lieu cher
both heard in his arrangements for cello (as opposed to violin) and orchestra
It’s all good and fine: none of it’s particularly risky
either the programming or the interpretations
is in the closing performance of the Souvenir de Florence
Vogler and friends (members of the Moritzburg Festival Ensemble) turn in a reading that burns hot
The opening waltz really rips – the group’s articulation of the opening theme
is furiously energetic – and their take on the third movement has lots of personality
might have benefited from a slightly brisker tempo
and the great slow movement offers opportunities for just about everyone to showcase their lyrical sensibilities; none of the players disappoint
For an album that’s consistently at that level of the Souvenir de Florence
violinist Benjamin Beilman’s fine new record for Warner Classics that pairs music by Schubert
It’s a disc that’s played with interpretive savvy and commanding chops: here’s a player whose confidence and musicality shines through each of these disparate pieces in a powerful way; he’s an artist with something to say and he’s not afraid to broadcast it loudly
from the relative freshness of Beilman’s program
isn’t overly played — or represented too much on disc
playing with spirited lyricism and a rhythmic energy that palpably carries through its slow
These same qualities are likewise apparent in his responsive traversal of Leos Janacek’s gritty Violin Sonata and his lithe
effervescent reading of Stravinsky’s brilliant Divertimento
The latter is a particular treat to hear: culled together from Stravinsky’s ballet Le Baiser de la fee
itself an adaptation of little-known music by Tchaikovsky
the Divertimento lacks little for charm and high spirits
But Beilman takes the music seriously and his performance
does his account of Fritz Kreisler’s Viennese Rhapsodic Fantasy
for all the Wienerisch schwung and élan with which he imbues the piece
Beilman is partnered with (far more than merely accompanied by) pianist Yekwon Sunwoo
whose accounts of the keyboard parts are as fully involved
There’s a 20th- and 21st-century market — not a big or terribly successful one
but a market all the same — for reworking the music of great composers after their deaths
either to suit the times or to somehow expand their reach
generally by Arnold Schoenberg) tend to succeed through some combination of sheer extravagance and a total departure from the restraints of a given composer’s sound world
does orchestrating Brahms in the style of Brahms or Mahler in the style of Mahler lead anywhere promising: the end results tend to sound warmed over and thin – the musical equivalent of a tumbler full of water with a drop of whiskey
So that makes the success of Donald Fraser’s engrossing and triumphant orchestration of Edward Elgar’s Piano Quintet all the more impressive
Fraser was certainly aided in his project by the symphonic scope and the orchestral quality of the original Quintet; he also benefited from his study of Elgar’s orchestration of Bach’s Fantasia and Fugue (which hails from shortly after the completion of the Quintet)
The end result is essentially Elgar’s Symphony no
if you want to fit Anthony Payne’s completion of Elgar’s sketches for his projected Third Symphony into the count): mighty
proves a more satisfying contribution to the Elgar canon than does Payne’s important but sometimes maligned
to the fact that Fraser was working here with music entirely written by Elgar
crafting an orchestration to the piece that does it justice
often inspired handler of the orchestra: not only his symphonies (most notably in the Second)
but also parts of The Dream of Gerontius and shorter works like In the South
inventive command of instrumental resources
But Fraser seems to have internalized most of Elgar’s tricks
There are judicious moments of tambourine and snare drum to color his percussion writing
Elgar’s penchant for splitting his violins in half – one section playing tremolo
the other not (for instance) – is echoed here
It’s played to the hilt on Avie’s new recording by the English Symphony Orchestra conducted by Kenneth Woods
The disc’s liner notes speak of the players’ excitement in rehearsal and performance and that comes across palpably here
while the second powerfully recalls the haunting slow movement of the Second Symphony
if (like in the original chamber version) it runs a little bit too long
offers playing of vigor and real catharsis
Fraser’s refashioning of Elgar’s marvelous song cycle Sea Pictures
The biggest problem here is that there’s really no justification for converting the original
in the process jettisoning Elgar’s fine orchestration of the first
Maybe the idea was to give this unduly neglected gem a bit more of a wider audience and greater opportunities for performance
ably performed here by the Rodolfus Choir and the English Chamber Orchestra (again conducted by Wood)
lacks the brilliance of the original as well as some measure of its directness
At least the Quintet proves a magnificent revelation

We have a lovely Hitler cognac that will blitz your socks off
Restauranteur Silvio Stelzer of French cognac and Champagne belonging to history’s most hated man, one Adolf Hitler, under his restaurant — Zum Dreispitz — on the grounds of Moritzburg Castle
Seltzer purchased a villa on the grounds of the historic site back in 2007, but it was only during a recent renovation that the discovery of six interconnected underground cellars — and the bottles — dating back to World War II was made. On Hitler’s commands, and as Europe starved in 1944, the S.S. hid war-time delicacies likealcohol
chocolate and cigarettes in cellars that somehow escaped the post-war pillaging of the Red Army
he kept his highest ranking officers happy with the best delicacies the Nazis could loot
who gets to keep the newly-discovered bottles
It’s definitely not going to Hitler’s heirs — and there are a few, some living in Long Island

Post-war german architecture now enjoys recognition and protection today
associated with the utilitarianism and pragmatism that prevailed in the reconstruction of the war-devastated country
the so-called post-war modern architecture (Nachkriegsmoderne) produced
high-quality works that significantly influenced the urban development of German cities
Helmut von Werz was one of the notable architects of this period
and many others who contributed to the transformation of the Bavarian capital after World War II
Von Werz designed and built numerous works of various types and programs
with the Bavarian State Archaeological Museum
standing out as one of the most prominent examples of new museum architecture in Germany at the time
Six cubic volumes dominate the appearance of the building facing Englischer Garten Park
became the hallmark and image of the museum
the passage of time made it necessary to undergo a significant transformation
and a complete update of the museum in its functional and technical aspects
Although Von Werz’s project was not officially protected by the Bavarian heritage conservation institution
which theoretically would have allowed for radical alterations or even demolition
our proposal was based on an opposite approach
conscious of both its architectural quality and the environmental reasons that favor the rehabilitation of existing structures rather than their demolition
Working within the material and conceptual constraints of a building requires discipline and restraint
it involves relinquishing the prominence of new interventions
discovering areas of freedom within the existing limits that enable transformation
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe eloquently conveyed this idea in a sonnet where he praised the presence of limitations and laws as drivers of creative freedom: “It is in working within limits that the master reveals his greatness / And the law alone can give us freedom.”
our rehabilitation project for the Munich Archaeological Museum is the result of a patient and precise process within the constraints of the original project
and spatial laws to find the meaning of the new intervention and expansion
Recognizing the values of the existing building in formal
the museum is faithfully restored in its most prominent architectural elements
The new additions are primarily limited to the insertion of a spacious public staircase
the expansion of administrative and conservation areas
covered with an exposed concrete structure
resonates with the orthogonal geometry of the original project
offering a large exhibition space that can be subdivided as needed
A system of in-situ concrete beams with basaltic aggregate and black-pigmented cement spans 27-meter-long spaces over a vast horizontal area
illuminated through perimeter skylights that
demarcate a childrens’ playground area for the adjacent nursery
thematically conceived as a small archaeological garden
The bearing structure therefore becomes the formal support of the space and the focal point of the interior image of the new architectural intervention
retain the dimensions and proportions of the original design
the building looks unchanged after its rehabilitation
maintaining the same precise and abstract appearance that characterized it since its construction
where each of its spaces has been transformed to varying degrees
reaffirming the thought of the German poet

Last month, The Polish political magazine, Polonia Christiana, published a longer article where they argue to reintroduce the monarchy in Poland
The magazine also criticised the Republic of Poland’s political system
The magazine Polonia Christiana does not state which royal family they support to take the throne
Now, one of the current candidates as King of Poland in a recent interview has stated that he does not want to become King. Prince Daniel of Saxony has told the German magazine TAG24 that he does not want to lead any monarchist revolution in Poland
Prince Daniel says he has felt an increased pressure the recent months from Polish royalists who want help from him and other members of the Wettin-family
The Prince said: “I cannot imagine that I will lead such a political movement”
The future leader of the royal house of Wettin continues
He summed up his basic political views with one sentence: “I am a Democrat.” Prince Daniel of Saxony
who is sitting in the council of his municipality of Moritzburg
is therefore not interested in a career as non-elected monarch
There are a number of candidates for the title “King of Poland”
One of these was the German Prince Daniel of Saxony
This leaves us two pretenders from the royal dynasty of Saxony
They are Prince Rüdiger of Saxony and Alexander
and both claim the title Margrave of Meissen
The most prominent monarchist organisation in Poland today is “The Conservative Monarchist Club.” It was founded in 1988 in the form of a society; it considers itself a successor to the Conservative Monarchist Club originated in Kraków
which in turn succeeded the Conservative Party founded in 1922
He shuldn’t lose sleep over it…it will never happen
The visitor record of the pre-corona year 2019 has thus almost been broken
There was also a significant increase in turnover in 2024
"Schlösserland" once again promises highlights for visitors
Almost 2.1 million people visited the State Palaces
This means that the pre-corona level of 2019 - the year with the highest number of visitors to date with 2.13 million guests - has been reached again
as Managing Director Christian Striefler said at the presentation of the 2024 annual results
eight percent more visitors came to "Schlösserland Sachsen"
"We can look back on a year that leaves us very satisfied and pleased," said Striefler
Pillnitz Palace and Park were the most popular with almost 407,000 guests
followed by Moritzburg Palace with 278,000 guests
Striefler described December as the "best month"
the "Spook under the Christmas Tree" in Weesenstein Castle and the "Christmas Garden" in Pillnitz Castle Park brought about a change
Visitor numbers used to be higher in the warmer months of May and September
revenue amounted to 13.2 million euros - an increase of one million euros compared to 2023 despite higher costs
Striefler highlighted the opening of Colditz Castle as a highlight
which attracted almost 27,000 visitors last year
The museum there offers insights into earlier eras and escape stories from the time when Colditz was a prisoner of war camp
There was a success to celebrate in Moritzburg: the Cinderella exhibition welcomed its 1.5 millionth visitor in its 13th season
Climate change also presented the SBG with challenges last year
"This is actually what worries us the most," said Striefler
Increasing extreme weather events such as heavy rain
flooding and storms are a particular problem for the historic gardens
Pillnitz Palace Park and the Great Garden in Dresden each suffered damage amounting to around 400,000 euros
The "Schlösserland" also has some highlights in store for visitors in 2025
The park railroad in Dresden's Great Garden is celebrating its anniversary this year
it will start its 75th season with a newly renovated station
the new exhibition "Cowshed and Silver Plates" opens at the end of June
where visitors can immerse themselves in the everyday world of nobility and servants
the special exhibition "Thin Ice - Inuit on Display"
which runs from the end of June to November
explores the forced journey of showmen two centuries ago
