Rediscover Frederick the Great: A Picture Journey through His Eventful Life

On November 17, 2026, the Urania Association in Potsdam invites you to an impressive multi-vision show about Frederick II, King of Prussia. The event combines historical context, large-format photography, and personal travel experiences into a multifaceted discovery experience surrounding one of the most contradictory personalities in Prussian history.

A King Between Enlightenment and Political Power

In this picture show, Frederick the Great does not appear as a one-dimensional monument. Roland Marske explores the contrasts in Frederick's life: the philosophically educated aesthete and the commander, the reformer and conqueror, the cultured monarch and authoritarian ruler. The local history of Potsdam and the European history of the 18th century merge into a vivid panorama.

Historical Places on the Large Screen

Current photographs of key life stages and important places of action bring Frederick's world to life. The projections lead to locations where political decisions, courtly culture, and personal retreats are interconnected. Architecture, landscape, and cultural heritage emerge as visual traces of an era that still shapes Potsdam today.

Travel Report with Photographic Expertise

Speaker Roland Marske is a travel reporter and photographer. Together with the JULES-VERNE team, he has been developing extensively researched multi-vision shows on historical and cultural topics for many years. Extended travels, intensive research, conversations, and careful photographic implementation form the foundation for the presentation. Large projections, matching music, and personal comments create an atmospheric connection between lecture, picture journey, and cultural mediation.

Potsdam as a Stage for Prussian History

The venue on Gutenbergstraße is located in a city whose palaces, parks, and historical districts are closely connected to the reign of Frederick II. Those who explore Potsdam in the footsteps of the Old Fritz encounter Baroque architecture, expansive gardens, and places where European influences intertwine with Prussian history. The picture journey expands this view with additional stops from Frederick's biography and his era.

Conclusion: History Made Tangible through Images

The multi-vision show offers a cultural enrichment for all those interested in Frederick the Great, Potsdam, Prussian history, and impressive travel photography. Look forward to historical contexts, visual discoveries, and a nuanced perspective on the monarch. Secure your spot for this special picture journey at the Urania Association in Potsdam now.
