A worthy addition to your collection! Frederick II the Great (German: Friedrich II der Große). Born on January 24, 1712, in Berlin - died on August 17, 1786, in Sanssouci, Potsdam. King of Prussia (1740-1786). Nickname - "Old Fritz." One of his notable innovations was the abolition of censorship. He made it clear to his ministers that "Berlin newspaper writers should be granted unlimited freedom to write about all capital news without prior censorship." Frederick demanded that "interesting newspapers should face no obstacles." Deceased censors were generally not replaced, and these positions remained vacant during his reign. For the first time, a legislative basis for press freedom was established on German soil during his rule. Frederick came forward as a patron of the sciences and the arts. In 1742, he founded the Royal Opera, for which the architect Knobelsdorff built the building. After the factory of Gotzkowski came under Frederick II, it was renamed the Royal Porcelain Manufactory, with its emblem featuring the royal scepter from the very beginning. The portraits in medallions adorning Berlin Empire-style tableware and cups were mostly created by the sculptor Leonard Posse. In response to the cold classicism, the Biedermeier style emerged, reflecting the bourgeois love for comfort and coziness. Products from the Berlin factory in this style had a wide market. They were mass-produced items, yet retained a unique charm of that era.
