Sanssouci is a French term that means "without worries." For King Frederick the Great of Germany, the Sanssouci palace and gardens was a retreat where he escaped the worries of running an 18th century empire and where he pursued his passions for philosophy and the arts.
The 18th century was the Age of Enlightenment in Europe, and Sanssouci mirrored the spirit of the times.
Frederick was seen as the first servant of his state, and this was reflected in his attention to the plants and trees in his gardens, as well as his tolerance for windmills and the close proximity of peasants and farmers to his estate.

Sanssouci Park was originally nothing more than a terraced garden which Frederick the Great had planted in 1744 to cultivate plums, figs and vines on a hill just outside the gates of Potsdam.
Because the view was so beautiful, the King had a summer residence built above the terraces just one year later.
