Kurfürst Friedrich III. hegt den Wunsch, seine Residenz durch monumentale Bauten und Denkmäler zu verschönern. Die repräsentativen Entwürfe sollen auch nach außen sichtbar Friedrichs Willen zu Größe und Macht zum Ausdruck bringen. Nach einigen Intrigen am Hofe wird schließlich der Architekt Andreas Schlüter mit dem Entwurf eines Reiterstandbildes des Kurfürsten beauftragt. Daneben widmet Schlüter sich auch der Vergrößerung und Verschönerung des gesamten Schlosses.

At the beginning of the 18th Century, sculptor Andreas Schlüter, one of the castle builders of the Elector Friedrich III of Prussia, designs plans for a new Berlin. When Schlüter opposes the erection of an equestrian statue of the Great Elector being put up in Berlin, he loses favor and falls from grace. He loses all his possessions and ends up in jail. But even in prison, he continues to work on the royal sarcophagus.

THERE IS A NEWSREEL PREVIEW BEFORE THE FILM, JUST AS GERMAN AUDIENCES MIGHT HAVE SEEN WHEN THE MOVIE WAS FIRST SHOWN (except this newsreel may not be contemporary to when the film was released).

DVD-R IS IN GERMAN WITH NO SUBTITLES (except for the Newsreel). APPROX. 138 MINS. COMBINED TOTAL. EXCELLENT, DIGITAL FILM QUALITY OVERALL.
