Meseberg – Fontane was here several times. Berlin Northern Railway Line took him to Gransee, from where he continued by horse and carriage. The poet was not a frequent walker. It was in June 1861 that he came here for the first time to do on-site research for the first volume of his Walks through the Brandenburg Marches.

Fontane’s main interest was the palace’s glamorous owner: Christian Ludwig von Kaphengst. After the Seven Years’ War, Kaphengst was part of the illustrious circle at the Rheinsberg court of Prince Henry. The younger brother of Frederick the Great took a liking to Kaphengst’s “youth and beauty” and made him his adjutant – a position “which his intellectual gifts in no way qualified him for,” as Fontane pointedly remarked. He clearly possessed other qualities. The powerful Kaphengst “now dominated the court and the prince himself, whose favours made him exuberant”.
