Fürstenzug

An impressive and unique historical artwork made of beautiful porcelain tiles. The long mural is incredibly detailed and tells an interesting story of the region’s rulers. It’s a fascinating place to stop, admire the craftsmanship, and take photos while exploring Dresden’s old town.

The Fürstenzug took me by surprise—so detailed and grand, yet tucked along a quiet street. From my perspective, it’s one of those places that really brings history to life. The scale and craftsmanship of the porcelain mural are incredible, and it’s amazing how well it’s been preserved. It’s definitely worth pausing here while exploring the old town—it doesn’t take long, but it leaves a lasting impression.

What an excellent and exquisite display of porcelain art. I believe the art shows a march of the Saxon ruler dynasty and is the larger porcelain mural in the world. When you come upon the wall, the sheer size of it is jaw dropping. You won’t be able to believe what you are seeing. It is beautiful. This is a must see sight when you visit Dresden.

Once I arrived in Dresden, I had to take the latest available train to see this. It’s more than I expected. On weekends, this alley can get a little crowded, so you might have to wait a while to get a good picture. :)

Was here in 2022 summer and back again in winter 2025 and it's still so magnificent

One of the best Christmas markets i have seen. Really gives you a feeling that you are in the medieval times

The Fürstenzug in Dresden is an impressive mural made of Meissen porcelain tiles, depicting the history of Saxon rulers. At over 100 meters long, it is one of the largest porcelain artworks in the world. The level of detail in the figures is truly fascinating, bringing history to life. A must-see historical landmark when visiting Dresden!

My favorite sight in beautiful Dresden! Considering how leveled the city was due to WWII bombing, this spectacular mural miraculously remained intact. The artistry is mesmerizing. Make sure not to miss this - it’s right by the old stables

The "Procession of Princes" is a large mural of the rulers of Saxony. It was originally painted between 1871 and 1876. It is 102 metres (335 ft) and one of the highlights in Dresden.

We walked passed this place at the evening, right after the dinner. It was really great to walked around the place. The painting itself was great. Full of detail to dig into, very historical and cultural. All the historical moment show at one to they eyes of the visitor. There was a street music band playing some classic music at the back, when we were there. It made our experience even greater and at the same romantic. It was like wtaching a movie, my imagination was dancing with the paint on Fürstenzug along with the music. There was lights all around the painting. It definitely seem more interesting to me. We were here about 15 mins just looking at it and enjoying the atmosphere. After this we went on walked around. It was a great time. The location of Fürstenzug is really close to other famous sights in Dresden. At night, there are lots of cool bar around. Great place to hang around.

Fürstenzug means Procession of the Princes and portrays 35 Saxony kings/royals. The wall is 100 years old (it took 3 years to make it) and 100 metres long and it is covered with 25,000 tiles from Meißnen porcelain factory. It's stunningly impressive work and the details are mindblowing. Meißnen is one of the highest quality porcelain/china manufacturers in the world and the oldest one in Europe. During the bombing of Dresden in the WW2, parts of the Fürstenzug got damaged but they later restored it and the Meißnen made new tiles.

IT S LIKE SOMETHING OUT OF AN ART BOOK! Really cool building. Go and look at it if you are nearby.
