This interesting postcard shows Prussia’s famous King Frederick the Great (1712-1786) standing on the rear steps of legendary castle Sanssouci, which he built during his reign (1740-1786). The castle remains open in Potsdam today. It is one of the most impressive and beautiful in all Germany. Friedrich is flanked by two of his beloved dogs. Below him is the caption “Der alte Fritz in Sanssouci.” The postcard was mailed from Potsdam in 1938. Its postage stamp bears the image of the by-then-defunct Weimar Republic’s late President, Generalfeldmarschall Paul von Hindenburg, who had died in 1934.

Crown Prince Friedrich Wilhelm was Kaiser Wilhelm I’s son, and Kaiser Wilhelm II’s father. Friedrich Wilhelm became Kaiser Friedrich III. He sat on Germany’s throne for 99 days and was known in Germany as the “99-Day-Kaiser.” Friedrich Wilhelm was a very able military commander during the 1864 Danish-Prussian War, 1866 Austro-Prussian War, and the 1870-1871 Franco-Prussian War. The color postcard depicts him mounted, riding among his troops after the Battle of Worth. It took place on 6 August 1870. If you look to the right, you will see one German soldier holding a French regiment’s colors. During these wars, as well as the earlier Napoleonic Wars, the capture of regimental colors was a big event.
