Nachtwächter mit Laterne und Hund

In front of you stands the 'Night Watchman with Lantern and Dog' monument, crafted by H. Viehweg. This is more than just a statue; it's a recognized heritage site in Saxony. The watchman, accompanied by his faithful dog, embodies the historical significance of the city's night watchmen. The lantern he holds is a nod to the times when these guardians patrolled the streets, ensuring safety. If you look northwest, about 338 meters away, you'll find the Sühnekreuz Alttolkewitz, another monument that speaks to the area's rich history. Take a moment to connect with the past and feel a piece of Dresden's history.
