Frederick II at the laying of the foundations of the castle on the river Spree in 1443
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This color lithograph captures a significant moment in history as Frederick II, Margrave and Prince Elector of Brandenburg, oversees the construction of his grand castle on the picturesque river Spree. The image showcases a bustling scene filled with builders, workers, and craftsmen diligently working to bring Frederick's vision to life. The attention to detail in this illustration is remarkable, showcasing not only the architectural plans but also depicting various stages of construction. Ladders and scaffolding reach towards the sky as workers meticulously lay each stone foundation. The presence of iron tools highlights technological advancements for that era. Frederick II himself stands tall amidst his subjects, exuding authority and nobility. This portrayal emphasizes his role as both a ruler and an active participant in shaping his kingdom's landscape. The historical significance cannot be overlooked; this print offers us a glimpse into medieval Germany during the Middle Ages when castles were symbols of power and fortitude. It serves as a reminder of Germanic culture and its rich architectural heritage. As we admire this artwork from Carl Rohling's "House of Hohenzollern in Pictures and Words" we are transported back to 1443 when Frederick II laid down these very foundations that would become an enduring symbol of German history.
