Green Gate, Potsdam

The Green Gate (German: Grünes Gitter) in Potsdam is the main gateway into Sanssouci Park and is situated at the end of the avenue to Sanssouci Palace. This begins as one of three roads that radiate from the Luisenplatz square. The gate was designed by Ludwig Ferdinand Hesse and was put up in 1854 as part of the construction of the Church of Peace. Its name comes from the colour in which the gate was painted. Additional ornamentation is provided by individual bars and points being picked up in gold leaf. The iron gate bears the initials of Frederick William IV.

Notes

gollark: Mostly I write web apps and other stuff where I don't want to care about details like memory management.

gollark: Rust syntax is fine, I just find lower level languages more annoying to do the stuff I want to in.

gollark: I like Rust as a language but curse myself to eternal suffering by practically *using* JS more.

gollark: Yes, VP9 encoding is three (3) slow.

gollark: Interesting idea! However this would distract from osmarksprojects 2941 to 2946.
