Oh, could be. I was thinking of him as Apollo, since he liked to make that equation. :P But yes, you might be right.
Monument: the Trier website says it was partially destroyed in the French Revolution, so presumably the angel is all what's left. So maybe there was an inscription with Fritz' name in giant letters.
Ooh, that makes sense. :P All I found was that the church survived 1945 but the monument itself is now in a museum.
Usually people who hung out with Fritz' brothers a lot had at the very least a not completely positive view of Fritz. So who knows, maybe there was some mutual iritation when he left, over the marriage and the Palladion respectively.
That would make a lot of sense, especially since he didn't stay all that long.
so maybe this is mentioned somewhere - Thiebault?
Maybe, though I don't consider Thiebault a primary source for much. :P
(err, other than the obvious, i.e. Barbarina and Gertrud Elisabeth Schmeling Mara)
also mentions the staff attending him at Sanssouci was strictly forbidden to marry.
Contemporary source of unknown reliability, then. *nod*
(Though, you know, with the standards we've been holding Fritzian historiography to, and the extent to which we have our previously held beliefs turned upside down regularly, I sometimes wonder how anyone does ancient history at all!)

Well...double standards for women all the way!
