Science and technology played an important role at the Saxon court. It is not for nothing that there are many measuring instruments and amazing technical art objects in the state collections. Even August the Strong was on the road as a surveyor. In 1721 he renamed the fortress bastions of Dresden after the known planets. Their position at that time is indicated by this monument. However, only a few remnants of these defenses remain. Dresden was later softened. The best way to get an impression is at the former bastion Venus, east of the site. Or you can visit the exhibition inside the former fortress wall.

The planetary monument was created by Vinzenz Wanitschke in 1988 and is located on Münzgasse. It is a bronze sphere, the earth, and 7 bronze medallions set in the ground around it, the planet. The memorial is intended to commemorate the bastions of the Dresden fortifications
