Les dessins représentatifs mettent en avant par leur aspect la magnificence de Frédéric. Mais les intrigues de la Cour rendent difficile le choix d'un artiste qui puisse répondre aux désirs du souverain. Finalement on prend Andreas Schlüter après qu'il a présenté une statue équestre de l'Électeur. Frédéric en est très satisfait et fait de lui son architecte de cour. La première mission sera d'agrandir le château de Berlin et de l'orner grandement.
During World War I, young Ellen Lange runs away from her boarding school in Hamburg, because she cannot stand its strict rules any longer, and escapes to her brother Rolf, who lives in Kiel. Rolf, a vice-helmsman by profession, is not too enthusiastic about Ellen's arrival, because he has to go to England in secret orders. So he tries to convince her to go back to her boarding school, and when they both separate at the station, he is convinced that she will do so. But Ellen is unwilling to give up her new freedom again, so she takes another train to Berlin instead. During the journey, she meets a young girl that promises to help her find a job in Berlin. She also provides Ellen with the address of "Aunt Jenny", a dubios lady that finally gets her a job in a music store. After her three months of probation, Mr. Hansen, her boss, orders Ellen to bring a precious violin to Copenhagen. He also provides her with a false passport, as Ellen does not have any identity papers.
