Frederick the Great, the king and appraiser of decorative natural stone, cultivated the abundant reserves of Silesia, both personally and simultaneously with interest as a king, to use it to justify Prussia's new status.

By special sovereignty, the monarch held all the precious stones and especially the green corn for himself. Bright green-yellow natural stones from the emerald are considered the most valuable types of quartz.

Frederick the Great traveled to Silesia to choose the most beautiful one. The new palace was the fruit of the king's interest.

The magnificent building pays homage to the natural stone, which is much more diverse than any other palace in Friedrich. Its attractive building style inspired the creation of this year's pen "Potsdam, Sanssouci" .
