No Worries

By Linda Tancs

“Don’t worry, be happy” must have been the mantra of choice for the Prussian king Frederick the Great when he commissioned Sanssouci Palace in Potsdam, Germany.  Sanssouci (from the French sans souci, meaning “without worries”) was commissioned in 1747 as the ultimate getaway for a harried king on the battlefield.  The largest World Heritage Site in the country, the rococo-styled mega-mansion is perhaps equally known for its expansive park.  Combining the best of European Baroque garden settings, it’s probably no wonder that the property is often referred to as the “Prussian Versailles.”   In other words, when en vogue, do as the French do.
