Description
Scene of conversation between Frederick II and representatives of Pomeranian nobility: general von Borck, baron von Eickstedt and Landrats von Winterfeldt and von Puttkammer in June 1780 concerning the credit system for Pomerania. The inscription on the stained glass window is the beginning of the king's speech claiming that he loves Pomeranians, praising their courage and service to the state "Kommen Sie näher meine Herren, ich will mit Sie als Ihr bester Freund sprechen" (Come closer gentlemen, I want to talk to you like your closest friend). The stained glass window was mostly reconstructed in 2009.
