Tomb of Ernst II of Saxony

Media Station

As part of the state and special exhibition “Early Renaissance in Central Germany. Power. Representation. Piety”, cura3D created three interactive media stations for the Kunstmuseum Moritzburg Halle (Saale). One focus was the digital presentation of the tomb monument of Ernst II of Saxony, which is located in Magdeburg Cathedral and, by its very nature, could not be physically integrated into the exhibition.

Between place and inaccessibility

A photogrammetric method was used to capture the tomb monument in high resolution. As part of this process, an introductory video was also produced explaining the architectural and historical context of the tomb chest in Magdeburg Cathedral. The virtual 3D model was then annotated—with in-depth information on the apostles depicted as well as the coats of arms—and transferred into an interactive application.

3D reconstruction
and interpretation

Using photogrammetric capture, the tomb monument was digitised with high precision and reconstructed as a three-dimensional model.

Early Renaissance in Central Germany

An exhibition at the Kunstmuseum Morizburg, Hallle (Saale)
24/11/2024 — 02/03/2025

The exhibition provided a comprehensive view of art and culture in the Central German region during one of the most exciting periods in German history. The central figure was Ernst II of Saxony (1464–1513), Archbishop of Magdeburg and Administrator of the Diocese of Halberstadt. Ambitious was his transformation of Halle into a sovereign residential city with the Moritzburg, one of the earliest palace complexes in Central Germany, where the late Gothic style still dominated at the end of the 15th century. The territorial lord and prince of the Church was in productive competition with the other bishops and princes, including his brothers Frederick the Wise and John the Steadfast.
