I had not realized Dickens was in Berlin until 1741. But there he is! (Wikipedia agrees.) Also, Wikipedia tells me he had lived in Berlin from 1724, as a secretary at the British embassy, and got officially appointed Secretary to the Prussian court in 1730, which is when he seems to become important enough to make it into the Adresskalender. So he did not, as I'd thought, arrive with Hotham and stay.
I see that Lynar in 1730 is not living in the Flemming house, and if Suhm was living elsewhere before 1725, then I'm guessing they just lived wherever and there wasn't a Saxon "residence" for envoys in Berlin. Unlike when Suhm inherited Lynar's house in St. Petersburg.
- well, Gendarmenmarkt is clear I'd say, although it isn't called that on the 1748 plan
I had naturally looked this up already on the map and had found the same thing. :)
Btw, I don't see an envoy either to Brunswick or from Brunswick in 1741, and 1740 is missing. I was hoping to find out who Stratemann's successor was, since I still consider him a candidate for Manteuffel's "Anonymous."
