Castle in Legnica, from the north side before 1822

The view of a part of the city was repeated after the etching by Friedrich Wilhelm Delkeskamp, a German painter, engraver and publisher, creator of many graphic representations of architecture and landscape. The author of the copy, as in the original, showed the castle after the baroque reconstruction after the fire in 1711, he only added pinnacles on the tower's balustrade. The staffage from the foreground of the original artwork was omitted. The differences between the works are also noticeable in the arrangement of vegetation, in Hewig's case there is no fence running next to the fortifications. The illustration shows, among others (from the left): the former church of St. Maurycy, the Głogów Gate with a tower, the Church of the Virgin Mary and a bridge over the former castle moat. Wilhelm Hewig, a certified engineer, architect and retired government master builder, mentioned in the address book of Legnica from 1930.
