Monument "Friedrich August the Just"

Friedrich August the Righteous (born December 23, 1750 in Dresden; † May 5, 1827 in Dresden) ruled Saxony for almost six decades, longer than any other monarch. As elector, he tried to rebuild the country after the Seven Years' War. In 1806 he was enthroned as Friedrich August I by Napoleon as the first Saxon king. After France's defeat in 1813, he lost a large part of Saxony's territories to Prussia.

The beautiful and detailed statue of Augustus the Just had already stood in various other places before it was placed in this place since 2008, where it was very well presented.

Since May 29, 2008, a sculpture by Ernst Rietschel has stood on the site of the Albert memorial, showing King Friedrich August I “the Just” in a seated position. The memorial, cast in the art and bell foundry Lauchhammer, was erected and consecrated in the Zwinger in 1843, later found a place at the Japanese Palace and, thanks to the efforts of the city, the Saxon Academy of Arts and private sponsors, was given its final place on the palace square in 2008.
