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.

After Otto, the Julius-Otto-Bund, founded in Dresden in 1876, was named, which in the early days was under the significant influence of Hugo Richard Jüngst. In the Strehlen district, a Julius-Otto-Straße was named in 1890.

A monument by Gustav Kietz, which showed Julius Otto and was inaugurated in 1886 in front of the Kreuzschule on Georgplatz, was melted down in 1942 for war purposes. A copy based on preserved plaster casts and in the interpretation of Niklas Klotz has stood since August 2010 in the square between the Dresdner Kreuzkirche and the NH Hotel on Dresden's Altmarkt.
