The majestic royal residence and garrison city of Potsdam lies like an island in the middle of the idyllic Havel countryside at the gates of the city of Berlin.

It is like a unique symbiosis of a historical urban area, nature and architecture where there are seventeen palaces surrounded by opulent parks, forests, lakes and majestic villas and gardens.

Dukes from Brandenburg, kings from Prussia, emperors from Germany and the UFA gods of the silver screen have all lived here and left their marks for ever on this beautiful place.

Just like numerous immigrants from all over Europe, on whom the liberal Prussian character had an effect like a magnet. Therefore, it is not surprising that this city has had an unmistakably international flair that has remained unchanged to this day, where the word, "culture" is especially emphasized.

Let the glory of bygone days take its effect and make a new impression on you.
