The Friedenssaal at Villa Tieck in Potsdam-Sanssouci is situated at Schopenhauerstraße. The parish of Friedenskirche operates a kindergarten in the villa. So the villa is also called “Friedenshaus”. In 1845 a previous baroque construction was revised by the architect Ludwig Persius. It was intended to be part of a poet trail that Friedrich Wilhelm IV planned at the main gate to Sanssouci Park. He planned nine villas in antique-like style at Schopenhauerstraße between Hegelallee and the triumphal gate at Winzerberg hill. But only this one villa was built. From 1841 to 1849 it served as a summer residence for the poet Ludwig Tieck. In 1874 the kindergarten of Friedenskirche parish was established at the villa. It was named Königin-Elisabeth-Haus.
