OTSDAM IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF EUROPEAN
cultural history - a
splendid centre of European Enlightenment, which reached its climax in
the 18th century in the architectural and artistic design of Frederick the
Great's palace. The palace complex of Sanssouci, with its beautiful, extensive
park, is both magnificent and playful and has been designated a World
Heritage Centre of Culture by UNESCO. Every year, it enchants millions of
visitors from around the world. The town of Potsdam, numbering some
300,000 inhabitants, is the capital of the federal province of Brandenburg.
This former garrison town has much to delight its visitors, including small
palaces and old churches, idyllic parks and historic immigrant settlements.
