Potsdam - City of Palaces and Gardens

Potsdam has been shining with its parks and lakes, architecture, and history for centuries, far beyond the borders of Brandenburg. In 1990, UNESCO recognized this masterpiece by including it in the World Heritage List. In addition to the palaces of Sanssouci and Cecilienhof, the state capital boasts other buildings such as the Landtag and the Palais Barberini, which are increasingly regaining their former glory through careful reconstructions. Closely linked to Potsdam is the history of German cinema at the Babelsberg studios, the romantic tales of Queen Louise, and of course, "Old Fritz," Prussia's most significant ruler, King Frederick II. Today, the city confidently looks to the future with its young university and showcase institutions like the Hasso Plattner Institute, the Alfred Wegener Institute, the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, and the Arts and Culture Quarter Schiffbauergasse.
