THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS PLACE OF SILENCE, REMEMBRANCE AND HONOR IS WITH
THE PATRON OF BERLIN: FREDERICK THE GREAT
�GERMAN: FRIEDRICH DER GROSSE�. EVEN THOUGH HE NEVER REALLY RESIDED IN THE CITY, HIS INFLUENCE WAS ENORMOUSLY. ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT STREETS BEARS HIS NAME UNTIL TODAY: THE FRIEDRICHSTRASSE.
FREDERICK’S SOUL WAS DEVOTED TO ART AND BEAUTY BUT HIS FATHER THE SOLDIER KING FREDERICK WILLIAM I PRESSURED HIM INTO REGENCY. IN PRUSSIA THIS MEANT TO WAGE WARS, WHICH FREDERICK DIDN’T LIKE AT ALL.
