Walking Kattes last way makes me feel so many emotions...

back on my shit y'all (only for a little while, i have yet another exam and then i'm free!!)

Fritz wasn't the only one who saw his friend dying in Küstrin. Many comrades from the Gens d'Armes, inclusive Joachim von Holtzendorff, saw a friend dying. Joachim and Hans were friends since their time together in Glaucha (Halle) ...

"if what we have is half, then we shall make it the very best half. i love you. it is enough. [...] together, we are whole."

Street names in Steinsfurt...

(English translation: Old-Fritz-Street, Kattestreet; Crown Prince Street)

Steinsfurt is the place where Fritz tried his escape from his father in August 1730.

While Fritz sings this song, he writes a letter to Hans in prison. Before the song starts, he says: "Weder Haft noch Freiheit, weder Leben noch Tod werden an meiner Freundschaft zu dir und Wilhelmine etwas ändern." ("Neither imprisonment nor freedom, neither life nor death will change my friendship with you and Wilhelmine.")

So if you look closely at the lyrics, it is a song from Fritz to Hans... 💔

So the last part, "Lebwohl, Frédéric" are the last words in this letter.

I'M SORRY???? I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT FRIEDRICH MYTHOS UND TRAGÖDIE??????

"THEN I WILL BUILD US A CASTLE FAR AWAY FROM THE WORLD AND ITS TORMENT"????

"AND WHEN I'M KING I'LL TAKE YOU THERE"?????

WHO IS HE TALKING ABOUT

[merry-kenobi]

I think of him when I hear this song...

rip hans hermann von katte, you would've loved ABBA
