Since the late Middle Ages, family ties established through marriage between the Wettin and Hohenzollern dynasties, as well as an inheritance bond concluded in 1457 (and renewed several times in the 16th century), have determined Brandenburg-Saxon relations. From the 17th century onwards, Prussian-Saxon relations were characterized by the increase in political power of Prussia and the parallel loss of power in Saxony. From 1742, Prussia set up a permanent embassy in Dresden.[1]
From the middle of the 19th century, the Prussian Embassy was located in the Moszinska Palace (German: Palais Moszczyńska, Mosczinskystrasse 5, in today's Großer Garten district. After the founding of the German Empire in 1871, the embassy became largely insignificant before it was dissolved in 1924.[3]
