A) Main pavilion/grandstand
B) To the right hand of
C) To the left hand of
D) "Credenza" meaning side board or buffet table, VIP provisions for main pavilion
E) Musical choir
F) Two small cannons or refreshment stands (either the engraver Perer Troschel wasn't sure which, or both could be there in that spot - people shooting off stuff while having a drink)
G) Timpani/ Kettledrum and trumpet stands
H) "His Excellency The Generalissimo and Count Palatine" who gave the first fire to the fireworks
I/J) "Cupido" (possibly a rocket or some mechanical device) flies from His Lordship the Count Palatine to the Peace Column (center, surrounded by the 24 cannons[M]) and ignites them
K) The column, on which the peace figure stands (supposedly typical barroque symbolism, peace in the middle surrounded by military power, an allegory for having won a war or completed a peace treaty but my knowledge is limited on that)
L) Men dressed in black and white who stood against each other with the fireworks battle swords in question
M) 24 cannon barrels that stood around the peace column
N) A column with a large fire wheel
O) Another 8 columns also with fire wheels and 7 fire balls buried in the ground between them (for a surprise effect?)
P) 12 large fire pumps
Q) Spanish riders prepared for the fireworks with intervening posts and balls resting on them ("Spanish riders" being the star-shaped wooden constructions with spikes - used both as military obstacles and for crowd control at events)
R) Gate of the fireworks castle, on which stood the image of Discord and below it the image of Mars (Discord (Discordia) being Roman goddess of strife, conflict, and civil war, and Mars obv the Roman god of war)
S) The four corner towers of the castle which were adorned with golden knobs, painted iron banners, and also decorated with black and white silk flags
T) The inner structure of the castle with the rotunda and cupola standing on it
U) Flexible/supple slanted structures on which rockets were hung (adjustable rocket launchers?)
W) Brass cannons
X) 500 muskets that fire a salvo simultaneously in beautiful order
Y) Wooden cannons
Z) Battery positioned next to the castle on which stood 12 falconets, 2 stone [cannons], and 11 four-pounder pieces
("Stein" could refer to stone-throwing cannons or cannons of a specific caliber measured in stone weight)
a) Batteries by the water on which stood 6 whole, 8 half, and 8 quarter cartarines [heavy cannons]
b) A small four-pounder which, together with a rocket, each time a toast was drunk, would give the signal whereupon the above-mentioned pieces on both sides would respond simultaneously in proper order
This gave me a bit of crosseyed headache but it seems to describe a toast ceremony, where every time the VIPs in the pavilions raised a toast (to the Kaiser, peace, etc) a small signal cannon and rocket would fire. This was the cue for ALL the other cannons and fireworks around the area to fire in coordinated volleys.
So the drinking toasts triggered the fireworks displays where each toast resulted in a spectacular coordinated artillery show. Very baroque
d) Spanish riders that protected the fireworks from the rush of the crowd
c) Barriers around the pavilion extending to the fireworks
e) A part of the city of Nuremberg
f) The Bear Bastion/Fortification (Bärenschanze in Nuremburg)
g) The shooting house/guild hall of St. John
(The shooting guild hall of St. Johannes, where the marksmen's guild would practice and meet. Very common in German cities)

I will be back to discuss the details of this artwork. If you guys find anything interesting in it (besides the unreal-looking "fireworks") please let me know.

The Text on The Main Structure
(According to Google Translate)
Top Left
"of the Turks"
Top Right
"of the Tatars"
Bottom Left
"Nor are there any shortages of wealth"
Bottom Right
"Nor are there any shortages of strength"
Middle Arch
"And new successes" "increases with success"
The text on this structure does not appear to be original to the illustration, evident by how off-center "DE TURCIS" is. The illustrator, which clearly has great attention to detail and symmetry given how well-drawn this structure is, would not have lazily added block text so poorly like this. The only text on this structure that appears to be original to the illustration is the text on the middle arch given how it actually looks like it is engraved into the building itself.

The Dates on The Obelisks
Left Obelisk
MDCCLXIX = 1769
Right Obelisk
MDCCLXX = 1770
It should be very obvious that the original illustrator was not the one to add in these dates. They look slapped on in post and neither of them are centered to the base of the obelisks, nor do they even look like actual engravings that would appear on real obelisks. The dates are superimposed over the top of the designs as if the original illustrator did not intend for any text to obscure it.

Wait I never asked you, what’s your Christian explanation for this? What’s the motivation for the timeline deception and banned electricity systems if you’re not on board with LSE?

Atmospheric energy generators could not exactly be taxed or controlled. So after the mudflood some people got the bright idea to get rid of it and introduce a new form of energy that can make money. The love of money is the root of all evil.
