He was there for only four years (1736 to 1740). Later, he gave it to his brother Heinrich, who lived there for nearly half a century. When Fontane visited in the 1850s and 1860s, he was a bit frustrated that Heinrich by then was nearly forgotten, and the four years of Fritz were all anyone talked about
LOL forever. This is why exactly I wrote that passage in "Lovers lying two and two":
No matter where he looked in Rheinsberg, he saw Friedrich. Heinrich knew he could live here fifty years, and renovate every corner and every blade of grass, and Rheinsberg would still have Friedrich's long ago stay imprinted on its soul.
SD: "How beautiful everything is here! How wonderfully well, with so much taste your brother has made this place his own. He truly is a marvel."
though on the downside, the real life castellans are trying to convince you of Frederick's heterosexuality and swear he had a romance with a local Rheinsberg girl named Sabine.
Bad castellans!
I'm glad the weather cooperated last week in terms of sunshine, even if it was hot.
Today, you can see among other things a painting of Heinrich himself hanging there, which wasn't the case during his life time; he didn't want his own portrait there, ruefully aware he wasn't handsome. Otoh, the paintings and busts featuring several of his boyfriends which were still there in Fontane's time did not survive two wars and are now gone.
Poor Heinrich.
Marwitz inscription! Seeing it is so cool.
(and conclude Kaphengst must have been spectacular in bed):
It's funny 'cause it's true. :P
<333 FREDERSDORF! Competence is sexy indeed. <3
Have a map first:
Thank you for knowing I would want a map. :P
This is one of those planted by him:
Planted by him personally, or planted under his direction?
She was married three times - with the middle marriage a very brief affair that ended with her divorcing him - but told her grandson she'd loved Fredersdorf best of her husbands
Again, Fritz's taste in serious boyfriends is validated.
Note that there are Fredersdorfs (Michael Gabriel Fredersdorf) and her (Caroline Maria Elisabeth Daum) initials, but no one else's:
AWWWIng so hard.
The coffins survived WWII but not the aftermath; in the GDR, they were buried in the nearby cemetery and are now irrevocably lost.
Lost as in destroyed, as in "somewhere in this cemetery but we don't know where," or as in, there's a parking lot over them now?
Oh, I see, you got that from the information plaque. Hmm. Well, if it's not the first one, then I say--archaeology solves many problems, people! We found Richard III. :P
Granted, DNA comparisons are harder with the sons of town pipers from the back end of Pomerania, but I have faith we can figure something out.
I'm going with the assumption that if Achim were to make a wrong declaration as to which of her husbands Karoline Maria Elisabeth loved best, he'd pick Grandpa. I'm therefore assuming that she told her grandson as much during the later's childhood
I'm totally in agreement with this reasoning.
Mostly because of severe mismanagement in the 19th century after Achim von Arnim's death, when numerous later owners had no interest in it and didn't find people to manage it competently for them, either.
Man, just like the Kattes. Come on, heirs, don't you know posterity is going to be interested in Fritz's boyfriends?
