Space for new things? Visions for the Old Market Square 1945–2025
The Old Market Square – Potsdam's historical heart and a reflection of great longings. Once a jewel of Italian style admired throughout Europe, the square became the scene of passionate debates after its destruction in 1945 – with opposing visions before and after 1990.
Between reconstruction, GDR-era buildings, and new urban planning concepts, it remained for a long time a wasteland, green space, parking lot, or construction site. Plans, photographs, and models tell of loss, hope, and new beginnings.
How much of the past does the city of tomorrow need?
