Potsdam is a city of UNESCO World Heritage, a city of parks and palaces on the idyllic lakes of the Havel, a city of culture, a center of film, education and science, characterized by a 1000-year-old history and Brandenburg State capital near Berlin.

International influences from France, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Russia and many other countries stimulated development and left their mark on architecture, the trades and way of life. Today you can see this in particular in the Dutch Quarter, in Weaver's Square in Babelsberg or in the Russian Colony Alexandrovka.
The unique buildings and landscapes were royal residences of kings and have been ideal settings for filmmakers since 1911. To this day internationally renowned films are produced in the Babelsberg Film Studio. Films like The Blue Angel, The Pianist, Around the World in Eighty Days and Inglourious Basterds were made here.

Science, in combination with commercial enterprises and non-university institutions, defines the future development of the State capital. The ratio of scientists to the population is one of the highest in Germany. More than 40 scientific institutions, such as the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP), the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute), the GFZ German Research Centre for Geoscience as well as the DLR Institute of Planetary Research operate in Potsdam and its surroundings. Well-known companies like Volkswagen have established branches in the Schiffbauergasse at the lake Tiefer See.
Adjacent to Berlin, Potsdam was the hotspot for eastern and western secret services during the Cold War years and the Glienicke Bridge (Bridge of Spies) was used for exchanges of captured spies. Looking at Glienicke Bridge from afar, you can see that the bridge's eastern half is painted a slightly brighter shade of green than the western half.
From here, only a 20 minutes-walk away, at Cecilienhof Country House the Potsdam Conference was held in 1945. Here, the allies Soviet Union, United Kingdom and the United States agreed to divide Germany into four occupation zones, which later led to the division of Europe.
