Potsdam

Praised as an Arcadia of fine arts, lauded as a place of quiet, elegant living in one of Germany's most beautiful landscapes, characterised by the tradition of Prussian glory, but also by the political upheavals of Germany's recent past - such is the multifaceted picture that Potsdam presents.The texts in this book unfold an exciting panorama of the past and present of the former garrison town with its world-famous palaces and parks. The photos show the Brandenburg state capital as it is today and how history is reflected in it. The Potsdam of the past and the Potsdam that is proud of its present are united in this book: to look at, read and think about.
