Embark on a journey to Potsdam, a city that was once inaccessible from Berlin. Prior to the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Wannsee station marked the last stop before entering the former German Democratic Republic. Many of the striking buildings you see today are the result of extensive reconstructions following the bombings of the Second World War and the lack of maintenance during the East German Government era. The captivating cityscape you now admire is the masterpiece of five brilliant architects, including Peter Joseph Lenn, Georg Wenzeslaus von Knobelsdorff, Carl Phillipp Christian von Gontard, Karl Friedrich Schinkel, and Friedrich Ludwig Persius. Of course, we cannot forget the significant contributions of King Frederick the Great and Emperor Wilhelm II in shaping this splendid city. Prepare to be captivated by Potsdam's UNESCO World Heritage sites, including:
