Columns of a fake ruin decorate the site of a water reservoir built by Frederick the Great on the Ruinenberg Hill, Potsdam
The Ruinenberg is a hill in the Bornstedt borough of Potsdam, located north of Sanssouci Park. In 1748, the Prussian king Frederick the Great had a water tank with a capacity of around 7600 m³ built on top to supply the Sanssouci water features, and had it decorated with artificial ruins.
