Von Knobelsdorff studied painting and worked on ideal landscapes. Frederick II of Prussia (later Friedrich der Gro�e, Frederick the Great) commissioned him to design the Temple garden at Neuruppin (Amalthea Garten). Later Knobelsdorff was the architect of Frederick palace at Sanssouci at Potsdam (built 1745-1747) and designed the terraces on the Wine Hill.
