The Dutch Quarter

A part of Holland in Brandenburg

Small shops, cafés and bars attract visitors in this part of town. For the extension of the garrison town, the soldier king Frederick William I urgently needed qualified craftsmen. He struck it lucky in the neighbouring country and, so that the Dutchmen should feel at home in Potsdam, he had 130 brick houses built in this part of town in the middle of the 18th century and even today there is a lively atmosphere in it. If you would like to get to know more about Dutch culture, we can recommend a journey on the Oranier route, which is a historic tourist route through Germany and the Netherlands, created in reminiscence of the Oranien-Nassau dynasty.
