The Hohenzollern Yearbook is on my list for when I can read German properly, it seems to have a lot of goodies.
Possibly, yeah. A couple of the titles I skimmed sound interesting. I ended up there a couple of weeks ago because I was looking for this Koser article from 1897, which collects quotes about Fritz' looks (you know, priorities and all that), most of which I'd also read elsewhere (not least thanks to you guys).
It also has this little 1780s anecdote about Heinrich, witnessed and later written down by a young Marwitz boy (born 1777): As we were going up the great staircase, a little old man came running past us with fixed eyes and jumped down the stairs in arcs. My court master called out in astonishment: "That was Prince Heinrich!" We now stepped into the window on the first floor and looked to see what could induce the little man to use such arcs. And, lo and behold, the king came to visit him. I was most impressed because Heinrich wasn't exactly the youngest at that point, either. ;)

Finally, in case of interest, I posted a couple of winter pictures of the Sanssouci grounds in my journal earlier, all from years ago. Kind of anachronistic, since I don't think anybody lived in the two palaces during winter time (?), but still, some views of the snowy grounds. Although sadly, I didn't actually take one of Sanssouci itself that time, no idea why (possibly too many people milling about).
