Not long ago, we found out that Fritz kept a pack of 40-50 whippets at the palace of Potsdam and at Jägerhof. Much entertainment was had in my imagination until felis confirmed my guess that this was the Jägerhof at Potsdam, not Berlin, and identified it with the Jägertor I had found.
Now, you all know me: I love checking out maps and getting a modern-day look at historical sites. (I spend a lot of time in street view, but will spare you that.)
Here is a map showing where Fritz's dogs were in relation to Sanssouci, and as I found when I was snapshotting this, the modern-day Voltaireweg! I know he had an apartment in town that he spent a lot of time in, both because he and Fritz were driving each other crazy and, at least according to Davidson, because there weren't enough women at Sanssouci for our heterosexual Voltaire's tastes. But I don't know where this apartment was or whether it has any relation to the Voltaireweg. I like, though, how you can view the Voltaireweg as leading toward Sanssouci or away from it. :)
cahn, I'm sorry about the lack of scales. :P From the Voltaireweg oval to the Sanssouci oval is 750 m or a 10-minute walk. Does that help?
The other Jägerhof
