Paul C Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Yes, it is true. Frederick the Great is alive and well and living in Potsdam, Germany! While I was getting a personal tour of Berlin and Potsdam by a fellow forum member I saw Frederick the Great and one of his guards in Sans Souci Park in Potsdam. I was so surprised that I just had to have my pictures taken with this famous man. See for youself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dond Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 My wife and I toured the place back in early 1990. Needless to say, there were no traces of FdG or any german leader for that matter. The guide back then kept complaining about damage done by the Nazi soldiers as they fled the area.Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VtwinVince Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 The remains of Friedrich der Grosse, amongst others, are located at Burg Hohenzollern bei Hechingen, where they were interred after being rescued from the Soviets. And it was the Soviets, and later their puppets in the DDR government, who destroyed Prussia's cultural heritage and with it, Potsdam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
