Germany: Potsdam - The Sanssouci Park
The 287-hectare Castle Park dates from 1725. It was located where once was an orchard. With the construction of the Castle Sanssouci between 1745-1747
the Royal Seat of the Brandenburg-Prussian rulers, master builders and artists started to create a fascinating ensemble of palaces, parks and gardens in the time span of only three centuries.
An important person in the history of the park was Frederick the Great (1712-1786), King of Prussia.
However, it was not until the 19th century that the idea of Potsdam as a paradise isle became a reality, thanks to the landscape architect Peter Joseph Lenné. He united the various palaces and parks into a unique park landscape, which was designated as a world cultural heritage site by UNESCO in 1990.
This video just gives you an small impression of the Sanssouci Park. To enjoy all its beauty you need several days!

Sanssouci - (Schloss Sanssouci) Palace grounds & gardens in Potsdam, Germany
Some people have referred to it as the Versailles of Germany, but Sanssouci isn't quite as large; the reference is likely to one of the most beautiful & scenic palace grounds and gardens found, along with several temples and follies. Located in Potsdam, Germany, Sansoucci is actually one of several palaces built in the area known as Sanssouci Park.
Commissioned by Frederick the Great, King of Prussia, as a summer palace he could retreat to and it wase opened in 1747. Along with the residence, there is an elaborate terraced garden that was designed to grow grapes for his own wine, plums and figs.
We started a very short visit before doing the inside tour of the palace (for which we will have another video upload), then did a very leisurely detailed walkabout of the grounds and garden area, with the magnificent statues and fountain, after the tour.
As mentioned before, Sanssouci is only one of several palaces within the park & I have videos up of the Neues Palais (New Palace), the Orangery Palace, as well as the exotic Chinese House pavilion and other points of interest. If you wish, you can read more about all of them by clicking this link to Wikipedia:

Potsdam, Germany - The Orangery Palace in Sansoucci Park
The Orangery Palace is one of several palaces in Sansoucci Park, in the city of Potsdam, Germany. It was commissioned by King Friedrich Wilhelm IV (Frederick William IV of Prussia) & work began in 1851 and completed in 1864. The so-called Versailles of Germany (Sansoucci Palace) is also located within the park, along with other similar structures such as the Neues Palais (New Palace) and the Chinese House, a garden pavilion.
There was much restoration work going on at the Orangery (also known as New Orangery on the Klausberg), so we were unable to go inside some of the structures, but the beautiful day lessened our disappointment with the grand outside views of the palace and the equally grand garden views.
When we first arrived we began our stroll at the historic (wind) mill and also ended our walk there before we continued on to see the other palaces in the park. The mill, known as Historische Mühle, in German was based on a legend known as The Miller of Sanssouci & was built in 1737. It was much fun to visit, as well.

Sanssouci Palace (Schloss Sanssouci) - Interior splendor ! Potsdam, Germany
If we had not paid the camera charge required, I would not have been able to get some of these wonderful photos taken of the stunning inside of Schloss Sanssouci (Sanssouci Palace). Located in Potsdam, Germany, it has often been called the Versailles of Germany because of it's opulent splendor and gardens/grounds.
It was worth paying the camera charge - it was one photo opportunity after another: statues and busts, wonderful furniture, chandeliers of all sizes, paintings and other artifacts. Some of the walls had carved wooden paneling depicting animals and other interesting motifs. I could go on and on, but see for yourself.
Normally we do video and slide show combination, but for this a simple slide show, along with music, highlights and displays the treasures to their best advantage.
Since this was King Frederick the Great's summer palace, emphasis with everything was on comfort and it shows in every room. The palace was used for parties and other entertainment.

Schloss Sanssouci/ Sanssouci Park (Potsdam, Germany)
April 2014. Lovely Potsdam :)
Inside Neues Palais (New Palace) in Sansoucci Park - Potsdam, Germany
Located a good distance from Sansoucci Palace, it is a nice enjoyable stroll trough beautifully maintained lanes and gardens. Although much work was being done on the exterior of the Neues Palais, to sometimes distract from the structure, our views were not hampered by the inside splendor this palace possessed.
Completed in 1769, after building was begun in 1763, after the end of the Seven Years' War. It was done during the rule of King Friedrich II and is considered to be the last great Prussian baroque palace.
A very enjoyable tour, including one of the very 1st indoor bathtubs with faucets on display. Well maintained & restored items, in spacious rooms throughout, it gave you a good idea of what it must have looked like during its heyday. One room was encrusted with shells, stones, marble, quartz and semi-precious stones on the walls.
As is our custom, Ed did all of the camcorder video filming & any narrations heard, while I did all of the still photography and chose the music you heard, then edited eveything and uploaded to You Tube, etc. And here is the required song credits:

Frederick the Great had designed a terraced garden in the Park Sanssouci with exceptionally beautiful views.

Coming through the Green Gate in the park there soon Sanssouci castle on the hill in sight, past the historic mill, stone gate, Sicilian garden, orangery, paradise garden, botanical garden, we reached the New Palace and Mopke. Bring a lot of time, because almost everywhere there is something special to see.
Friedrich der Große hatte einen Terrassengarten im Park Sanssouci mit außergewöhnlich schönen Blick konzipiert. Besonders an den Sommerabenden kann man die großzügig angelegten Gärten bei ausgedehnten Spaziergängen besonders genießen. Kommt man durch das Grüne Tor in den Park hat man auch bald das Schloss Sanssouci auf dem Hügel im Blick, vorbei an der Historischen Mühle, Felsentor, Sizilianischer Garten, Orangerie, Paradiesgarten, Botanischer Garten erreichten wir das Neue Palais und Mopke. Bringen Sie viel Zeit mit, denn fast überall gibt es etwas Besonderes zu sehen.

Places to see in ( Potsdam - Germany ) Sanssouci Park
Places to see in ( Potsdam - Germany ) Sanssouci Park
Sanssouci Park is a large park surrounding Sanssouci Palace in Potsdam, Germany. Following the terracing of the vineyard and the completion of the palace, the surroundings were included in the structure. A baroque flower garden with lawns, flower beds, hedges and trees was created. In the hedge quarter 3,000 fruit trees were planted. The greenhouses of the numerous nurseries contained oranges, melons, peaches and bananas. The goddesses Flora and Pomona, who decorate the entrance obelisk at the eastern park exit, were placed there to highlight the connection of a flower, fruit and vegetable garden.
With the expansion of the site after the creation of more buildings, a 2.5 km long straight main avenue was built. It began in the east at the 1748 obelisk and over the years was extended all the way to the New Palace, which marks its end in the west. In 1764 the picture gallery was constructed, followed by the New Chambers in 1774. They flank the palace and open the alley up to rondels with the fountains, surrounded by marble statues. From there paths lead in a star pattern between tall hedges to further parts of the gardens.
In his organisation of the park, Frederick continued what he had begun in Neuruppin and Rheinsberg. During his stay as Crown Prince in Neuruppin, where he was commander of a regiment from 1732 to 1735, he ordered that a flower, fruit and vegetable garden be laid out in the grounds of his abode. He already deviated here from the classical organisation of baroque gardens, which concerned themselves purely with the model represented by Versailles, by combining the beautiful and the useful. He also followed this principle in Rheinsberg. Apart from the transformation of the palace, which Frederick received as a present from his father Frederick William I in 1734, he ordered the establishment of fruit and vegetable garden areas enclosed by hedges. In addition the central avenue and a larger intersecting avenue did not lead directly to the palace, as was usual in French parks of the era, but took off from the south wing and at a right angle to the building.
Frederick invested heavily in the fountain system of Sanssouci Park, as water features were a firm component of baroque gardens. But the Neptune Grotto, finished in 1757 in the eastern part of the park, was used just as little for its intended function as the fountain facilities. Atop the Ruinenberg, roughly six hundred metres away, was a water basin from which no water could arrive into the park and because of the fountaineers' lack of expertise the project failed.
It did not succeed until steam power was employed one hundred years later, and thus the purpose of the water reservoir was finally fulfilled. In October 1842 an 81.4 horsepower steam engine built by August Borsig started working and made the water jet of the Great Fountain below the vineyard terraces rise to a height of 38 metres. A pumping station on the Havelbucht was especially built for this machine. It was commissioned by Frederick William IV and built by Ludwig Persius between 1841 and 1843, in the then fashionable Moorish Revival architectural style to look like a Turkish Mosque with a minaret as a chimney.
Many years earlier, Frederick William III had acquired an area which bordered Sanssouci Park to the south and given it to his son Frederick William IV for Christmas in 1825. There Karl Friedrich Schinkel and Ludwig Persius built Charlottenhof Palace on the site of a former farm house and Peter Joseph Lenné was commissioned with the garden design. With the baroque flower and fruit and vegetable gardens from the Frederician era in mind, the garden architect converted the flat and partly swampy grounds into an open landscape park. Broad meadows created visual avenues between Charlottenhof, the Roman Baths and the New Palace with the Temple of Friendship developed from the time of Frederick the Great. Casually placed groups of bushes and trees and a moat that was broadened into a pond at its southeastern end beautify the large park. Lenné used the materials excavated to create the pond to construct a gentle hilly area landscape where the paths meet in the shape of stars at the high points.

Sanssouci palace
Potsdam, Germany - Neues Palais & Schloss Sanssouci HD (2013)
The New Palace (German: Neues Palais) is a palace situated on the western side of the Sanssouci royal parkin Potsdam, Germany. The building was begun in 1763, after the end of the Seven Years' War, under Frederick the Great and was completed in 1769. It is considered to be the last great Prussian baroque palace.
Sanssouci is the former summer palace of Frederick the Great, King of Prussia, inPotsdam, near Berlin. It is often counted among the German rivals of Versailles. While Sanssouci is in the more intimate Rococo style and is far smaller than itsFrench Baroque counterpart, it too is notable for the numerous temples and follies inthe park. The palace was designed/built by Georg Wenzeslaus von Knobelsdorffbetween 1745 and 1747 to fulfill King Frederick's need for a private residence where he could relax away from the pomp and ceremony of the Berlin court. The palace's name emphasises this; it is a French phrase (sans souci), which translates as without concerns, meaning without worries or carefree, symbolising that the palace was a place for relaxation rather than a seat of power.
Sanssouci is little more than a large, single-story villa—more like the Château de Marly than Versailles. Containing just ten principal rooms, it was built on the brow of a terraced hill at the centre of the park. The influence of King Frederick's personal taste in the design and decoration of the palace was so great that its style is characterised as Frederician Rococo, and his feelings for the palace were so strong that he conceived it as a place that would die with him. Because of a disagreement about the site of the palace in the park, Knobelsdorff was fired in 1746. Jan Bouman, a Dutch architect, finished the project.
During the 19th century, the palace became a residence of Frederick William IV. He employed the architect Ludwig Persius to restore and enlarge the palace, whileFerdinand von Arnim was charged with improving the grounds and thus the view from the palace. The town of Potsdam, with its palaces, was a favourite place of residence for the German imperial family until the fall of the Hohenzollern dynasty in 1918.
After World War II, the palace became a tourist attraction in East Germany. Following German reunification in 1990, Frederick's body was returned to the palace and buried in a new tomb overlooking the gardens he had created. Sanssouci and its extensive gardens became a World Heritage Site in 1990 under the protection of UNESCO; in 1995, the Foundation for Prussian Palaces and Gardens inBerlin-Brandenburg was established to care for Sanssouci and the other former imperial palaces in and around Berlin. These palaces are now visited by more than two million people a year from all over the world.
