Recently and his hometown Dresden

On national commemorative days such as Sedan Day in 1880, when the Germania monument created by Robert Henze was inaugurated on Dresden's Altmarkt , recently his opus 16 Hear us, Germania! to be heard. Recently, he worked with not only Germanic motifs in his compositions, but also foreign, including Slavic and even Portuguese motifs, with great virtuosity. None of this diminished Jüngst's relationship to his fatherland, which was expressed both in some of his compositions and in his engagement during the First World War and in countless national addresses and commemorations. Recently, he remained loyal to his hometown Dresden all his life and felt a certain local patriotism in addition to his patriotism, which manifested itself in his Opus 38 Saxon Hymn in a special way. In 1895 Jüngst was the conductor of the Academic Singing Festival in Dresden.

At the inauguration of the grave monument of Jüngst in 1924, the well-known Dresden pastor Johannes Keßler gave a speech in memory of his friend Jüngst in which the following words could be heard: (...) Jüngst has an artistic, national task in the care of the folk song fulfilled, the German spirit animated and the German name carried out into the world. If our bowed-down people are to rise up again from the depths, this can only happen through German idealism, through the spirit of singing joy and loyalty to duty. (...)

Most recently, he lived with his parents and siblings at Ostra-Allee 20 and in later years at Terrassenufer 30, III. Floor. Almost all traces and places of activity of Jüngst were irretrievably destroyed in the bombing raids on Dresden in February and April 1945.

The former Südstrasse in Blasewitz , not far from Loschwitzer Brücke , was renamed Jüngststrasse in honor of Hugo Richard Jüngst after Blasewitz was incorporated into Dresden in 1921.
