A Fresh Perspective on Travel Every Day
Potsdam, the capital of Brandenburg, is a city recognized as a World Heritage site due to its impressive palaces and remarkable royal parks once inhabited by the Kings of Prussia. Following the destruction caused by the Thirty Years’ War in the 17th century, Potsdam underwent significant transformation a century later under the reign of Frederick the Great.
Where the Mulde River converges with the Elbe, Dessau is often referred to as the “Bauhaus city.” This designation is well-deserved, as Walter Gropius established the Bauhaus school in Dessau in 1926. The primary building of the Bauhaus school is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, as are the homes Gropius designed for the school’s instructors.
