Since we're talking Kings and all already, how about you, Erich? What do you think of King August? Or, as he's also known, August der Starke?
Erich: “Just look at it! It’s beautiful! I’m so happy we got to rebuild these buildings after the war destroyed them. I also got to be best friends with Poland during his reign! But eerr, I wasn’t really a fan of all the wars.”
[Friedrich August I. von Sachsen (or as he’s also called August der Starke) was ruler of Saxony from 1694 till 1733 and also ruler of Poland from 1709 till his death. He was the one that built up Dresden (seen above) and Warsaw into beautiful baroque cities and Dresden actually got the nickname Elbflorenz (Florence at the Elb-river). He was really interested in culture and collecting art, that’s how his collection of obscure objects and art grew very big. Nowadays it can be seen in the museum. Definitley worth a visit!]
