A decorative bench at Sanssouci, the Prussian king Frederick the Great’s summer palace in Potsdam outside Berlin. Built in the Rococo style to fulfill Frederick’s need for a place to relax and get away from rigors of the Berlin court, the palace’s name emphasizes that — in French, sans souci means “without concerns.” Sitting on a marble bench topped with a gigantic eagle on a freezing January morning did not feel carefree, however.
