The architects and sculptors worked for kings and later private persons. Their models were mainly situated in Italy but they developed a very own architecture style, the Dresden school. The goal was to create art works, not only as stand alone buildings, but unique city emsembles, especially in detail. They created masterpieces for example of Baroque and Renaissance and later city villas in huge amounts (for example on river scopes or in former fisher districts), but also Jewish cathedrals or public schools.
