Under King Friedrich Wilhelm IV, a villa complex based on the Italian model was to be built in the Potsdam district of Brandenburger Vorstadt west of Charlottenhof Palace - in Charlottenhof Park, part of the Sanssouci Park. The complex was not built, only the hippodrome was created. The hippodrome includes a retirement home, for which Schinkel designed it in 1840.

The equestrian statue of Frederick the Great stood here from 1963 to 1980.
The statue was walled up during the Second World War and dismantled in 1950. In 1963 it was essentially parked here in the hippodrome. In 1980, when Frederick II became socially acceptable again in the GDR, Erich Honecker had it put back up in Unter den Linden, at its old location in Berlin.

At the northern end of the Hippodrome you will find the sculpture of a Nereid (sea nymph) riding on her hippocampi (seahorses).
