About Ruinenberg

Ruinenberg is a mountain. Location: Potsdam, Kreisfreie Stadt Potsdam. Elevation: 74 m.

From Wikipedia

The Ruinenberg is a hill in the Bornstedt borough of Potsdam, located north of Sanssouci Park. In 1748, the Prussian king Frederick the Great had a water tank with a capacity of around 7,600 cubic metres (270,000 cu ft) or about 2,000,000 US gallons built on top to supply the Sanssouci water features, and had it decorated with artificial ruins. From 1841 a surrounding landscape garden was laid out at the behest of King Frederick William IV of Prussia, according to plans designed by Peter Joseph Lenné.
