Brandenburg Gate (Potsdam)

Anyone who arranges to meet Potsdam residents at the Brandenburg Gate should be careful which address they enter in the route planner - or better yet, use this highlight. Don't let the other party wait in vain about 35 kilometers away in Berlin. Potsdam's Brandenburg Gate was built in 1770/71 on the orders of Frederick II and is therefore around ten years older than its Berlin namesake. Before that, there was a somewhat simpler gate here, which was part of the city wall that was demolished around 1900 and was built together with the wall to stop smuggling. Anyone who wanted to make their way to the city of Brandenburg had to pass through this gate - hence the name. Today, everyone who wants to stroll through Potsdam's main shopping street, Brandenburger Strasse, coming from Luisenplatz - or who is coming from there on the way to Sanssouci - passes through the gate.

The Potsdam Brandenburg Gate on Luisenplatz was built in 1771 by order of Frederick II. It stands at the end of Brandenburger Strasse to the west and across from the Church of St. Peter and Paul to the east. It is one of the three surviving city gates of Potsdam.
