The Ruinenberg is a hill between Potsdam-Bornstedt in the west and Potsdam's Jägervorstadt in the east. In 1748, Frederick the Great had a water reservoir built on the hilltop to irrigate the fountains in the adjacent Sanssouci Park to the south and decorated it with artificial ruins as antique design elements. In the course of landscape beautification around Potsdam, Frederick William IV commissioned the garden architect Peter Joseph Lenné with the horticultural design of the Ruinenberg grounds in 1841.
