Since December 12. 1990, the palaces and gardens of Potsdam and Berlin are UNESCO World Heritage Sites: .
For centuries, the Hohenzollern dynasty shaped the magnificent royal residence of Potsdam, where the most important architects and landscape designers worked. The royal statement "Here I reign!" was evident everywhere.
Striking buildings, wide streets, and meticulously designed landscaped gardens demonstrated power and prestige. The eye wandered from one point to the next, cleverly guided by carefully planned sightlines. This is still just as palpable today. The unique ensemble owes its nickname "Prussian Arcadia" to its almost paradisiacal beauty.
