... Great city view showing the Potsdam City Palace in the foreground, with the prominent dome of St. Nicholas' Church visible in the background... located right at the heart of the city's historic center at the Old Market Square... rebuilt in the historical Baroque style... nowadays it serves as the seat of the Landtag of Brandenburg (the state parliament)... Potsdam is known for its magnificent palaces and gardens... with nice stamp and special postmark of Luise Queen of Prussia and the mother of Emperor William I... during her time as crown princes she partly lived in this place...Thanks a lot Dustin!ヽ(•‿•)ノ
The Potsdam City Palace is a building used as the official winter residence of the Prussian Kings and German Emperors. It was built in 1662-1669, renovated in 1744-1752 and partially destroyed during an Allied bombing attack in 1945 during the World War II.
After the war, Potsdam fell under Soviet occupation and later the communist German Democratic Republic (1949-1990) which destroyed the building in 1960 for ideological reasons. Following the fall of Communism and German reunification in 1990, the former palace was rebuilt (2010-2013).
