Hurra, die dritten Zehne! Friedrich II. – der Große! – und der Müller von Sanssouci

Unbelievable: For over 30 years, Frederick II, King of Prussia—the Great!—and his wayward neighbor, the miller Grävenitz, have been meeting at the virtual garden fence between the castle and the mill. Based on the traditional legend that the king wants to take the mill away from the miller, the most delightful neighborhood feud unfolds, in which anachronism becomes the order of the day. Here, schadenfreude reigns, quick wit pairs with wisdom, and high politics is laughed off. “Hurrah, the Third Ten!” once again pushes the boundaries of neighborly relations and presents two neighbors who couldn’t be more different—yet simply can’t stand to be without each other. Prussia has never been this much fun!
