Frederick the Great's Berlin, 1750
This Berlin is a rising Prussian capital under Frederick II, where royal building projects and a packed garrison are reshaping a compact, riverside town. The walk follows Unter den Linden and the new Forum Fridericianum, passes the recently raised opera and St. Hedwig's, and moves through the Spree quays, market lanes and parade grounds of mid‑eighteenth‑century Berlin.
36 scenes — 22 streets, squares and views, 14 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Berlin as it stood in 1750 (“History of Berlin”).
