Ringerkolonnade(Pass By)
Lustgarten, Potsdam, GermanyPotsdam’s Old Town is one of the most beautiful baroque centers in all of Europe, yet the city is often overshadowed by its popular neighbour, Berlin. On this walking tour, I’ll share some of East Germany’s unique appeal with you. You’ll hear its history from as far back as the 1700s, through to World War II, all the way to today. I’ll show you the main sights, some lesser-known but equally rewarding spots, and a few of my favourite places in the city too.
You’ll start outside the Ringerkolonnade, the recognisable set of columns that stand tall beside Landtag Brandenburg, a replica of Potsdam’s former royal palace which, today, is the seat of the Brandenburg Parliament.View LocationYou’ll hear why the faces of kings on the obelisk in the square’s centre were replaced with the faces of architects. I’ll also point out the Barberini Palace Museum and the Old City Hall – both restored since World War II – and St Nicolai Church which managed to survive the destruction.View Location
