The Cecilienhof Palace is located in the 74 hectare New Garden in Potsdam, which is located between the Holy See and the Jungfernsee. The complex was acquired by Friedrich Wilhelm I in 1783 as a summer residence. Kaiser Wilhelm II had the palace built between 1913 and 1916 in the style of an English country house. The building, which has 176 rooms, cost eight million gold marks and served as the residence of the Crown Prince of Hohenzollern. The castle was named after the crown princess.

The palace acquired its historic dimensions when the Potsdam Agreement was signed in August 1945. The agreement between the four victorious powers of World War II (the Soviet Union, the USA, Great Britain and France) included the division of Germany into four parts and its central government by the Allied Control Council. Visitors can find out more about the Potsdam Conference in an exhibition in the rooms of the palace.

Cecilienhof Palace
Cecilienhof Palace, an ensemble of buildings in the English country house style, was built between 1913 and 1917 according to plans by the architect Paul Schultze-Naumburg. It is located in the northern part of the New Garden in Potsdam, not far from the shore of Jungfernsee. The last Hohenzollern palace was built under Emperor Wilhelm II for his son Crown Prince Wilhelm and his wife Cecilie from the House of Mecklenburg-Schwerin.
Cecilienhof became world-historically known as the site of the Potsdam Conference from July 17 to August 2, 1945. Since then there has been a five-pointed Soviet star made of red flowers on the lawn in the main courtyard, the first planting of which was carried out by garden inspector Paul Molske (1875-1947).

The palace complex to the north of the New Garden was built in the English Tudor style at the beginning of the 20th century as the residence of the last Prussian-German Crown Prince Wilhelm, who never came to power because his father abdicated and the monarchy was abolished.

The palace gained world-historical importance because the Potsdam Conference or the three-power conference in Berlin took place here (July 17 - August 2, 1945). The heads of government of the Soviet Union, Great Britain and the USA discussed how to proceed at the end of the Second World War, e.g. the organization of the zones of occupation (Potsdam Agreement).
