King Frederick II of Prussia did not wish to see any images of himself in his immediate environment. However, he had nothing against his likeness circulating around the world. This happened in many ways—during his lifetime and no less frequently until the start of the 20th century. These representations were always associated with interpretations and perceptions of the Prussian monarch that the time in question was supposed to and did record of him.

🌴 Have you noticed our potted plants in the parks and gardens yet? Once the last frost had passed, the time had finally come: our orange, pomegranate, and olive trees, as well as our oleanders, laurels, and Phoenix palms, had left their winter quarters and are now back in their usual spots. 🌿☀️ From the Orangery Palace in Sanssouci Park in Potsdam alone, around 900 potted plants were moved back outdoors. Every year, this relocation is a true feat of precision: the plants, some of which are centuries old, are transported in their heavy pots with great care and using specialised equipment to ensure they are not damaged. Now the growing season begins again for the plants outdoors—and fresh greenery is appearing everywhere. 🌱 Pro tip: Get tickets for the Garden and Monument Conservation Walk through Sanssouci Park to the Klausberg Belvedere on Sunday, May 31, at 11 a.m. or 2 p.m. Video: SPSG/Tanja Spillner

🏰From mythological tales to allegories and historical references: the sculptures in Rheinsberg Palace Park have a wealth of stories to tell. In the pleasure garden and the park grounds, which were later extended by Prince Heinrich, you will come across numerous sculptures. Some of them draw on themes from ancient mythology or refer to significant historical events. Some of these sculptures have survived to this day as originals, whilst others, after eventful histories, have had to be replaced by copies. Together, they shape the unique character of Rheinsberg’s Pleasure Garden. A place where art, history and garden design come together. 💡 Pro tip: If you’d like to learn more about the sculptures, don’t miss the expert-led tour ‘Heinrich’s Salon: Apollo and his Companions’. Join sculpture curator Dr Silke Kiesant and sculpture restorer Roland Will on a discovery tour through the park. 🗓️Tomorrow (Friday), 5 June at 5 pm ❗Booking: by phone on 033931.7 26-0 or by email at schloss-rheinsberg(at)spsg.de Fotos: SPSG/Leo Seidel
