Heh, I remembered that they were in the Temple and so I did indeed check out your write-up first before I went to wiki for more info. :D
I didn't know that about the Marly Gardens! They've always been connected to the Friedenskirche in my head, which was built much later, so I just assumed the name happened at the same time. (I also just realized that I've had it wrong all this time: it's Marly, self, not Maryl.) Naming things after Louis XIV stuff seems more like a FI thing to do - maybe FW was making a statement against both FI and Louis by naming a kitchen garden of all things after Marly?
I missed so many things when I was there!
Tell me about it! I actually unearthed my pictures from ten years ago today, and I discovered that apparently, I was mostly interested in taking pretty landscape pictures of the grounds and artsy detail shots and not so much in photographing stuff that might be useful to me right now. Quite the lack of foresight. :P
