• Sanssouci Park - Over 30 palaces and gardens in Berlin and Brandenburg invite visitors to embark on vibrant journeys back to the splendid era of the Prussian monarchy. These sites, showcasing the exquisite architecture and landscape design of Prussia, have largely been part of the UNESCO World Heritage since 1991. Their heavenly beauty aligns with their nickname “Prussian Arcadia.”

Among these are the globally acclaimed Sanssouci Palace in Potsdam and Charlottenburg Palace in Berlin.

• Sanssouci Palace - The pleasure palace of Frederick the Great boasts stunning Rococo-style architecture and a magnificent palace garden. On April 14, 1745, the foundation stone was laid for the now world-famous Sanssouci Palace. Sanssouci is a masterpiece ensemble of architecture, sculptures, and garden art.
• Neues Palais - A grand palace structure, its towering tambour dome visible from afar, stands at the western end of the Hauptallee (the main promenade) in Sanssouci Park: the Neues Palais (New Palace).

In stark contrast to the intimate and modest Sanssouci Palace, this large palace complex served official, representational purposes. Inside, visitors can explore grand banquet halls, splendid galleries, and royally designed suites, as well as Sanssouci’s Baroque palace theater in the southern wing. Select works of 18th-century art and decorative arts can be viewed in their original settings.

The New Palace is the last royal residence Frederick the Great commissioned in his park. It was a testament to the Prussian state’s enduring power and wealth following the hardships of the Seven Years’ War (1756–63).

• Dutch Quarter - The Dutch Quarter, also known colloquially as the Dutch Quarter, is a district in the heart of Potsdam, constructed between 1733 and 1742 as part of the second city expansion under the guidance of Dutch master builder Jan Bouman from Amsterdam. The quarter comprises 134 brick houses, divided into four squares by Mittelstrasse and Benkertstrasse. Under Friedrich Wilhelm I, known as the “soldier king,” the district was planned, and the two western squares were built. After his death in 1740, his son and successor Frederick II completed the quarter with the two eastern squares, largely following his father’s plans.
• Schloss Cecilienhof - Cecilienhof Country House, constructed from 1913–17 based on designs by Paul Schultze in the style of a country manor, was the last palace built by the Hohenzollerns.
  From July 17 to August 2, 1945, the summit meeting of World War II’s victorious powers took place here, attended by the “Big Three” – American President Harry S. Truman, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill (followed by his successor Clement Attlee), and Soviet leader Joseph Stalin.

The Potsdam Conference was one of the most significant historical events of the 20th century. It is recognized globally as a symbol of the end of World War II and the onset of the Cold War, which led to the division of Europe and the construction of the Berlin Wall. The Potsdam Agreement adopted at Cecilienhof laid the foundation for a new order in Germany, Europe, and the world after World War II.
