- Sanssouci Palace - Sanssouci served as the summer residence for Frederick the Great, King of Prussia, in Potsdam, near Berlin. The palace is renowned for its numerous temples and follies within the park. Designed and constructed by Georg Wenzeslaus von Knobelsdorff between 1745 and 1747, it was created to provide King Frederick with a private retreat away from the formalities of the Berlin court.
- Glienicke Bridge - The Glienicke Bridge spans the Havel River in Germany, linking the Wannsee district of Berlin with Potsdam, the capital of Brandenburg. Named after the nearby Glienicke Palace, the current bridge is the fourth iteration, completed in 1907, with significant reconstruction required after World War II damage.
During the Cold War, this section of the Havel River marked the border between West Berlin and East Germany, and the bridge was famously used for exchanging captured spies, earning it the nickname “Bridge of Spies.”
- Hollandisches Viertel - The Dutch Quarter, or Holländisches Viertel, is a neighborhood in Potsdam featuring 134 red Dutch brick buildings, most of which have been restored. Constructed from 1733 to 1740 and designed by Jan Bouman under the orders of Frederick William I of Prussia.
- Alexandrowka - The Russian colony Alexandrovka is situated in northern Potsdam. Commissioned by King Frederick William III of Prussia in 1826/27, it was built for the last twelve Russian singers of a former choir of 62 soldiers.
Due to the familial and friendly ties between the Hohenzollern and Romanov dynasties, the colony was named in memory of Tsar Alexander I, who passed away in 1825. As part of Potsdam’s cultural landscape, the colony is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
- Old Market Square - The Old Market Square is a central square in downtown Potsdam, forming the historical heart of the city. It encompasses the area surrounding St. Nicholas’ Church.
- St. Nikolai-Kirchengemeinde - St. Nicholas Church in Potsdam is a Lutheran Church located on the Old Market Square. This Classicist-style central plan building, dedicated to Saint Nicholas, was designed by Karl Friedrich Schinkel and constructed between 1830 and 1837. The 77-meter-high church’s tambour, which rises above the city’s rooftops, was built between 1843 and 1850 by Ludwig Persius and, from 1845, Friedrich August Stüler.
Towards the end of World War II, the church suffered damage during a British air raid on Potsdam and was further damaged by Soviet artillery fire. After extensive rebuilding, the church was re-consecrated in 1981 by the Evangelical Parish of St. Nicholas, Potsdam, and is now open to visitors. In addition to regular church services, concerts are also held in the church.
