sun sissy was built in the mid 18th century by the prussian king, frederic. the 2nd also called frederick the great. it was his summer palace, his prussian birth side. here, frederick wanted to pursue his hobbies undisturbed, and escaped the pomp and ceremony of the royal court. sanzo c is french and literally translates into it without concerns or without worries. so that's exactly what my motto today is going to be quick tip to make your day as carefree as king fruit. it would have wanted it to be thick. your tickets for the palace in advance online to avoid the long queues ah, entry into the gardens is free and that's where i am starting miter sciences. he is so much more than the palace itself. the park is made up of over 300 hectares of beautiful terraces,

vineyards and plants in 1990. both the gardens and the palace itself were added to the unesco world heritage list. this magnificent fountain is a feature that was also copied from versailles. it's decorated with sculptures of roman gods, and venus is particularly special. she was actually gifted by the van owner of versailles, the french king louis the 15th. this one now is a copy. the original is at berlin's border museum. let's go in, since we're filming, we get the whole place to ourselves, and i even get a private tour. i want to learn more about the famous prussian king and the splendid home he built here. so be a good morgan for what has kindly agreed to show me around fair, who was king frederick the 2nd letter for english line, frederick was oppression. king's recruit, actually, the prussian king. he was the one who led the prussian into lots of was of conquest

. he loves people and his country prussia, i give you top on bottom. why did you choose this location to build census about your own? it's on a small hill and he had his burial place, his tomb prepared on this hill early on in his reign. and at some point he thought, what a beautiful hill it would be, a pity to just be buried yet. so he had a palace built right at the top and he said, it's just for me. it's my dream palace, my songs to see. i want to be here without any worries. mine se martinez. i'm only sorry. oh ah, continue as you can see into the library through the window else. he puked visitors aren't allowed in to what king frederick consider to be his holy room. but you can still see the beauty of the wood panels domed library by peking, through the window. and this is where the king lived and worked,

writing poetry and philosophical text. he rarely slept more than 4 hours a night. such was the prussian way. this is that the arm chair frederick the great di didn't. it's actually the original of was king for it. it was also buried here and i'm going to visit his grave and i brought a rather unusual souvenir. it's a place on top of it. and it seems, i'm not the only one. so why are people laying potatoes on the king's grave? well, before king friedrich potatoes weren't really eaten in germany, actually they were more use just for decoration. but king friedrich past in order to increase potato crops in the country, following bad harvests and subsequent famines. according to legend, he tricks local farmers into plunging more of the so called apple of the earth by posting soldiers around the potato fields to protect them. it worked highly valued

goods, taste even better. so here we are a token for the potato. okay. ah census. the palace is definitely the main event, but there is another much bigger palace by me that we're going to go look at. no. because king friedrich needed more than one then you palace was built at the end of the precious 7 years war. in the $760.00 king free drink thought to demonstrate the power and glory of prussia and wanted to show off the strength of its finances. he himself rarely stayed in the castle. it was mainly forget let go check the new palace has around 300 green all dec type an excessive splendor of marble,

stone and gills. can you believe the whole palace only took 6 years to build main passivity hall or marble room extends over 2 floors, the fresco and the ceiling. here is one of the largest in europe. ah, another must be room in the garage to halt this 600 tons structure is encrusted with over 24000 shells and semi pressure doing me a free trade with perform context for his guests. here he was a passionate flute player and compose 120 flutes and me. so obviously from the piano, we can see that this was a real music room. but if you it carefully, their instruments embedded into the ceiling that used to be real instruments. and there are no gilded and real gold. all of the 3600 bricks in the library

are written in french. since that was the language frederick preferred over german . he often had the same set of fixed and all of his several castle so that wherever he was he had access to all of them in i could spend hours walking around if you to, for guidance here, especially in the golden light. i use my beetle and i are taking a little break from driving so that my colleague look steak. i can take a look around and exploring some of random bark so called last places. ah, ah,

an old military barracks in easter germany. places like this are dark, but fascinating. right now, i am 18 meters on the ground. there is only concrete around me. it's a little spooky here. it's a so called last place in brand of earth, close to berlin, but let's start above ground, reinstall 20 kilometers south of berlin until shortly after the fall of the wall. this was the barracks of the former soviet army. since its departure in 1994, the area has been neglected. here i meet around 30 amateur photographers looking for special subjects. after a short briefing, everyone can go off on their own. photo tours such as this are regularly offered by your berlin operator and to pursue you have to follow certain rules such as where

you can and can't go. we create barriers, unsecure. the location beforehand, i give a floor, might collapse. we don't go in there, i don't. and then we block it off. how much mol, cutten? it doesn't look so bad on the photos. you just have to stick to that with my that i went on high in front of the main building stands, a monument to lennon, the leader of the october revolution in russia. in 1917. it is set to be the last one left in germany. i'm now inside the main building, the so called officers house and i am obviously all alone here. right now. it smells musty decades old dust tanks in the air. ah, on the upper floor, i discover the remains of a radio studio. i wonder what was recorded here in the past.

ah, i venture further up to the attic. i feel a little queasy up here, but i'm rewarded. oh, i can't believe it is an old newspaper. it's from ah 1986. this newspaper is older than me. ah, it's hayton for bolton. no trespassing. well, as a participant of the tour, of course i'm allowed in tombstone was already a military area in the 19th century. in 1910 and imperial military training area was built for the van german empire. later under hitler, the high command of the german army had its headquarters here. from 1953 to

1994 green stove was the garrison town for the so called group of soviet armed forces. germany, up to 75000 military personnel lived here with their families. there were schools, kindergarten shops, as well as sports and cultural facilities. you have to imagine this used to be a theater. there was a lot going on here and now it's just silence. and finally, we visit the outdoor pool almost 30 years of stand still. they have cast a strange spell over the sight. ah, also in roots door about 2 kilometers away,

i joined another tour. the roots of timberline was the central intelligence bunker of the german army high command. let's take a closer look. done midland, sensitively, please. we don't want to hear it bang o we go down 3 floors, a total of 18 meters under ground. the bunker has a constant temperature of 10 degrees celsius. it was the heart of military communications during world war 2. later, the soviet army used it for its own communications.

in 1939, only 2 years after it was built, the bunker went into operation. equipped with the latest technology of the time. last, what was it? you must think of it like this. it was loud and yet it clicked. it clacked. there was an incredible amount of technology in here. this is also where all the remote weddings took place up. at the end of the war, soldiers no longer had leave forgotten. the soldiers sat in the field and the connection was made from that the registry office where the bride was. this was how people said yesterday, each other. the registrar documented it and then they were married. if the woman was pregnant and she received a small morbid gift many steel helmet, jessica sank many star had. ah, that was pretty impressive. and now there's another lost place waiting for me also here. and brandenburg, let's go. ah

ah well come to the billet senatorial the former senatorial bailiffs used to be born of the largest hospital complexes in the berlin area. up to 1200 patients could be admitted. most of them suffering from tuberculosis opened in 19 o 2. this was a military hospital during world war one and world war 2, then a military hospital for the soviet army. a treat shop path 700 meters long and up to 23 meters high. now leads through part of the site. ah, ah,

take a look at that. there are trees on top of the building. you could say nature is taking back the building this is the building i'm about to enter. it is the so called i've been house, had burned down at the end of world war 2, and has stood empty and and ruins ever since. the house is inspired artists and served as a set for films. the

oven house had room for around 270 patients. some of the relics illustrate the function of the rooms at that time such as the stage table in the former dining room. a lot has changed already, but there are still around the lost places and brandon burke, the question is for how much longer? so i recommend you to visit them as soon as possible before there is nothing more to see of this exciting and spooky path ah, whether in photographs or in my memory, the impressions i take away from these last places will stay with me for a long time. ah,
