Saxon infantry marching and advancing. Unplayed. Zeithain camp circa 1730. Figures by Wagner and others.
The "Zeithain Lustlager" was an organisational masterpiece that caused a sensation throughout Europe. It was not only the largest show of troops in Europe, it was above all considered the most gigantic baroque festival of its time, the "spectacle of the century", which because of its splendour and opulence is still the epitome of baroque lifestyle today. Ottoman state tents were also used, two of which can be seen today in the Türckische Cammer in Dresden's Residenzschloss.
