High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! From the north side of Sanssouci Palace in Potsdam, between the columns, one can see the colonnade of the court of the Ruinenberg on the other side. In 1748, Frederick the Great had a tank with a capacity of around 7600 m built on lands previously used for partridge and pheasant hunts. Master Builder Georg Wenzeslaus von Knobelsdorff and Theater Painter Innocente Bellavite designed blinds of imitation antique ruins. A Monopteros (round temple), three high ionic columns, a small pyramid, and a ruined wall, designed as if from a Roman theatre, were grouped around the pool. Frederick wanted a lot of water for his then planned projects: a fountain complex, the Neptune Grotto, and a marble colonnade in Sanssouci Park, which is no longer standing. The plans intended to draw water from the Havel with windmills into the high basin on the mountain. It then flowed under the park through a tubular system of hollowed tree trunks, which was to bring the water up into the fountains.
