Overview

  • Dive into the eccentric world of thought of Frederick the Great, the warrior king who despised women, loved greyhounds, and built a “Prussian Arcadia” to escape the world. This is not just a walk through a beautiful garden; it is a journey into the psychology of absolute power. Discover why the fountains didn't work, why potatoes are lying on a king's grave, and how a stubborn miller defeated a king in court. Accompany Max, a historian, and Silvia, a local insider, as they uncover the contradictions of the man who shaped modern Germany from a yellow slope.
