	Remarks at the Opening of the Exhibition
		Saxony was a country of religious tolerance, which was manifested in the reception of exiles from Bohemia and by the exemplary Christian lifestyle of pietists and the Moravians under the leadership of Count Nikolaus von Zinzendorf, who was also a missionary in America.
		Subsequently Elector Frederick August III changed sides; in return, Saxony was upgraded to the status of a kingdom within the Confederation of the Rhine under the control of Napoleon.
		As a result, Saxony was viewed as a traitor to the German cause among the parties to the Vienna Congress, and following Napoleon's ultimate defeat, the country ceded large portions of its territory to Prussia.
