That is interesting, because Lehndorff says Jägerhof was given to Peter as a lifelong dwelling. Since it was the royal hunting lodge, I assumed it was given by Fritz directly to Peter. Now it's the Baroness's house? Well, there was the time Fritz apparently gave Peter money to give to the Baroness (hence in my fic), with the implication that it was also a gift for Peter, so...maybe Fritz just liked the Baroness? (Her late husband had been his go-between with French count Rottembourg during the "trying to overthrow FW" days, was in the pay of France according to Lavisse, and lost his job as minister in 1730 due to coming out on the wrong side of the marriage intrigues.)
So maybe it was after the Baroness died (1751 per Wikipedia, which makes it interesting that it's still "her" house until 1755) that Fritz said her son-in-law Peter could keep the house for his lifetime? And then Ariane, until Fritz needed it as a bank?
from "Brüderstrasse" to a more exact "at the waterside behind Brüderstrasse", especially because the Knyphausen thing stays the same, but the latter is how one could roughly describe the position of the Jägerhof I guess.
Yeah, that is odd. The Brüderstrasse is one block east of the water, Jägerhof one-two blocks west. So maybe you're right and they started trying to get it more precise.
