Overview
The Königstein Fortress, located not far from Dresden on a rocky
plateau high above the Elbe River, is considered one of the most
interesting and best preserved fortifications in Europe. It has a long
eventful history dating back to the Bronze Age.
Königstein was first mentioned in documents in 1241. It was not
until the end of the 16th century that the former castle began to be
expanded into a fortress, which was then constantly adapted to
new conditions. However, it was spared from warlike destruction
over all the centuries. Instead, it was sometimes used as a prison
camp in times of war, for example during the Franco-Prussian War
of 1870/71 and for the last time during the Second World War. In
1949, the then GDR set up a youth workshop in the fortress based
on the teachings of Soviet pedagogue Anton Semyonovich Makarenko.
In 1955, the GDR's Ministry of Culture finally converted Königstein
into a museum and since 1991, now owned by the Free State of
Saxony, it has undergone extensive structural renovation.
The managing director of Festung Königstein gGmbH, Angelika
Taube, became aware of Hans Dieter Schaal as early as 1997, and in
the following years established an intensive collaboration with him,
which has now resulted in six permanent and twelve temporary
exhibitions. They illustrate the multifaceted history of the fortress in
a way that clearly stands out from pure documentation and always
creates something new and original from the factually given.
This book presents these exhibitions in large-format colour illustrations.
In addition, it contains descriptions and comments by Schaal that
clarify the history of the exhibitions and also give the reader insights
into the creative processes.
