    Ernst Julius Otto was an important musician who directed the Dresden Kreuzchor from 1828 to 1875. The original monument was unveiled in front of the former Kreuzschule on Georgplatz in 1886. Gustav Kietz was a student of the sculptor Ernst Rietschel. In 1942, the bronze parts of the monument were melted down for military purposes. The plaster casts were preserved, were recovered in 1945 and treated for conservation in the 1980s.
