"An island called Werder"

http://uwepetercom.blogspot.de/2013/05/an-island-called-werder.htmlWerder | Potsdam | Germany | 2013-05-30
The Werder municipal area stretches along the banks of the Havel, a tributary of the Elbe, and the town's oldest quarter is located on an island in the river. Hence the name, as the landscape term Werder (like Wörth in Upper German) means "river island". Origin: wikipedia

Sanssouci | Potsdam | Germany | 2009-08-04
Sanssouci is the name of the former summer palace of Frederick the Great, King of Prussia, in Potsdam, near Berlin. It is often counted among the German rivals of Versailles. After World War II, the palace became a tourist attraction in East Germany. Following German reunification in 1990, the final wish of Frederick came to pass: his body was finally returned to his beloved palace and buried in a new tomb overlooking the gardens he had created.
