Guided Story
Imagine the lively scene of the Saxon court in the 18th century. Among the bustle, a burst of laughter catches your attention. That's Joseph Fröhlich, the royal jester, charming both nobility and servants alike with his quick wit. Behind you, about 60 meters northwest, is the striking Blockhaus. And if you look a bit further north, you'll spot the Golden Rider statue. But here, at this sculpture, you can almost feel Fröhlich's presence. It's said he had the rare talent to make even the sternest courtier smile. A man whose joy and humor left a lasting mark. Let this vibrant depiction take you back in time to when laughter was a treasured gift.
