A Carefree Day in Sanssouci | Discover Potsdam’s Prussian Pleasure Palace with DW's Hannah Hummel

[@arvindbardeskar278]

I am a History teacher here in India. And this is wonderful 😊 treat for me. The best

[@elizabethwhitley9941]

I enjoy Hannah’s narrative. Upbeat but not over detailed. She makes it something you want to see more of.

[@Kaspaara]

I have lived in Potsdam for 2 years now (moved cities) and walk the gardens at least once a week because I love them so much. But I never entered Sanssouci Palace for some reason, only looked at it from without. A lovely video, which was just reccommended to me by KZbin. I love your energy, Hannah! And I'm happy to now more about Frederic II. now, he had an interesting life. I already knew the potato story though, I was pretty proud of that - haha. It's a good one.

[@Kaspaara]

@pc Yes, I have! It's lovely there! :D

[@jjns5600]

Fabulous! Thanks for making this video. Just visited Sans Souci today -- and this way, I can share it with family far away! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦.

[@suevialania]

Wunderbar! I like this kind of European palaces! Potsdam, Versailles, Queluz, Petrograd, Willlanov, Petrograd, etc A legacy from European Royal famílies for their Nations! Hohenzollern, Orleans, Bragança, Romanov, Poniatovski, Savoy, Windsor, etc

[@candydavis4277]

I got to spend the day there last summer. August 2022. It’s gorgeous

[@patrice7p]

Beautiful! It seems like a day is really needed to visit the whole complex. I will visit Sanssouci next time i am in Berlin. Thank you!

[@DasLamm68]

Visitors like Goethe were always astonished that in Sanssouci unlike in other European palaces there were no any gunned watch guards and the people used the rooms as abbreviation while Frederick aka Fritz was reading books or sat on his desktop.

[@genesis2936]

Wow, didn’t know such majestic castles existed in Germany, this one could rival the Versailles- at every turn and every way! 🙏 DW travel

[@lordanonimmo7699]

Germany has way more of these types of castle than any other country.

[@Mikichan85]

Versailles is more bigger. Are you American? Because in Europe, everyone know that. 😅

[@Mikichan85]

@@lordanonimmo7699 well... I don't really know. A lot of castles, that's true. But I think Germany, France and UK is almost to the same level

[@genesis2936]

@@Mikichan85 NO, I’m from Timbuktu. Bigger doesn’t mean better, if ur searching for the super large, Germany has em, even St Petersburg in Russia. Another example, Norte Dame is hardly what one would call a large cathedral, we all know it’s not, yet has super important history, country and world changing decisions were taken there. So size doesn’t matter.

[@angthingockhanh7083]

Love this so much. I like historical beauties as well as stories behind making them special. I am moving to Germany this year and hope to be amazed by culture. One day I will spend my vacation in the town to walk in the garden of the palace everyday. ^^ Thank you so much for this video.

Welcome!

[@ianhopcraft9894]

We visited the gardens on bicycles and I found myself on the avenue where part of Barry Lyndon was filmed. Amazing, we had a great day out. So good to be reminded of it again thanks.

A great video. I could see Hannah was really enjoying herself. Seeing a country that I would love to travel to. right at home.

[@cjdevon1015]

Lovely video. This place was in my Amazing Places book I bought in the US in the 1980s and I wanted to see how many of the featured places I would be able to visit. I thought visitng Sans Souci would not be possible as it was during the time when there was still East Germany. Now it seems that I may be able to fulfill my dream of visiting this place after all these years. Thanks.

[@raulorellano]

Excelente!!! Quiero volver a visitarlo.

[@kenichinishikawa7007]

I visited these palaces many years ago. I love them and I would like to visit them again.

Frederick was not really fond of women, somebody told me. And his motto was "Ohne Frauen, ohne Sorgen" That might be the origin of "sans souci".

Very nice place, but along with the death of QE 2 in the UK, it does remind us of the excess opulence that people born into wealth and power have. He had all the time in the world to write poems and philosophical texts that he knew would be read for generations to come. Compare this with your average person, who will live, work and die most likely, with zero mark on the world, and be completely forgotten.

[@grichard1585]

...Without Worries, that's nice for Freddy... Meanwhile, the living conditions of Prussian peasants during the reign of Frederick the Great were poor. They were serfs, which meant that they were bound to the land and owed their lord labor and other services. They were also subject to heavy taxes, and their lives were often disrupted by war. They lived in small, cramped cottages that were often made of wood and mud. They ate a simple diet of bread, potatoes, and cabbage. They had little access to education or healthcare. They were subject to the whims of their lords, who could demand labor, services, or even money at any time.
