Self-guided podcast tour Potsdam The King's private paradise

About this activity

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.
