Winemaker train

Wine growers' parade (colored), Hoflößnitz

The winery procession is the name of a spring lithograph by Moritz Retzsch from 1840. It records the winery procession of the Saxon wine-growing society in the Lößnitz from 1840 . The painter and graphic artist Retzsch (1779–1857), who as a local winery owner was also the organizer of the move, made the graphic on eight sheets. The painter and graphic artist E. Otto (probably Retz's student Conrad Ernst Otto [1807–1847]) transferred the graphics onto the stone. The eight individual sheets were printed in the Dresden lithographic printing house Eduard Böhme, each folded in the middle and glued to the edge with the neighboring sheets to form a fan- fold ( folded out approx. 22 × 286 cm). This lithograph -Leporello with the black and white graphic was back in the Hofbuchdrucker CC Meinhold & Sons printed commemorative wine-growing company The wine festival of the wine-growing company in the Kingdom of Saxony on 25 October 1840 einmontiert and with it on 31 December of that Issued year.

The autumn depicted on sheet 1 on the wagon became the motif for the keystone in the gate to the Goldener Wagen vineyard near Hoflößnitz

The black and white prints by Retzsch shown here come from the copy of the Festschrift kept in the Radebeul City Archives , the Leporello of which has recently been restored. The in Scripture The Winzerzug of 1840. A tradition lives on by Birgit and Frank Andert shown colored lithographs come from the collection of the Saxon wine-growing museum in Hoflößnitz . That copy was colored by Käthe Bernhardt in 1958 and restored for the exhibition 850 Years of Viticulture in Saxony in 2011 . The copy is exhibited on the ground floor of the Hoflößnitz mountain and pleasure house .
