The director is wrong. Arzén von Cserépy directed a Fridericus Rex-series in four parts in 1920-1922. With Otto Gebühr as main actor. (Gebühr played Friedrich der Große 10x in total).
The source notes from the Bundesarchive explicit cites that the 1925 movie is a one-parter. This could be only "Die Mühle von Sanssouci" by Deutsche Vereinsfilm AG, Director: Siegfried Philippi and - of course - with Otto Gebühr. Filmed in 1925, premiered on Feb. 1st, 1926.
The four-part movie by von Cserépy from 1920-1922 is not considered as lost. At least part 3+4 can be borrowed from the Bundesarchiv.
