About Potsdam

Potsdam is the most populous city and capital of the state of Brandenburg with about 180,000 inhabitants. Situated on the river Havel, Potsdam is located south-west of Berlin and is a growth centre in its metropolitan area, which has a population of around 4.5 million.

The city is known for its legacy as the former residence of the kings of Prussia with its numerous and unique palaces and parks and the important civic centre. In 1990, the cultural landscapes were included by UNESCO in the list of World Cultural and Natural Heritage Sites of Humanity as the largest ensemble of German World Heritage Sites. Since 2019, Potsdam has also become a UNESCO film city.

The Film Studio Babelsberg, founded in Potsdam in 1912 as the first major film studio in the world, is now one of the most modern film and television production centres in Germany and Europe.

Since the middle of the 19th century, Potsdam has developed into a European science centre. Three public universities and more than 30 research institutes are located in the city.
