  • A quick introduction to the Prussian garrison city of Potsdam, including Sanssouci and many other attractions. And way too many kings called Frederick William.

    In my humble opinion: One day for Potsdam is NOT enough.
    I lived here for 15 years, and I still discover new things.
    But maybe you should spread out you Potsdam visit a little bit,
    or else you could easily be over-saturated by all those parks and palaces.

    • @PianistStefanBoetel

      The "problem" is that Potsdam is overshadowed by Berlin and lots of people would just come for a day trip.
      You are right, Potsdam is worth a 4 night trip only Potsdam.

    To discover Potsdam I really recommend to rent a bike. Potsdam is quite large and especially the different castles and palaces can haven far distances.

    Best video of Potsdam I have ever seen. I went once to that city, and as soon as I got out of the main station, it was beautiful. Also, even with my bike, I couldn't saw all the worthy places. That is why I'll go tomorrow again.

    When I worked at Potsdam Uni in the mid-90s, we used the right building behind the Neues Palais and boy was it a dump at the time. Built as for housing servants, after the war it got used by one of the MfS (Stasi) training centers. The library was really something else.

    Dear Rewboss,
    I haven't watched a lot of your travel vlogs yet, because I really liked your linguistics and concept explanation videos and thought that the other stuff just wasn't for me.
    Yesterday my mother in law visited, and she announced that she's learning English now to spice up her pensionist life. So I remembered your channel (you have a very clear pronunciation, and your subtitles are excellent, making it ideal for learners). Since she loves to travel in Germany, we picked this video as the first sample.
    She loved it! We had such a blast, me enjoying the very well produced content, and she being excited about every sentence she understood. :)
    I will now proceed to watch all your other travel vlogs, finally realizing what I had missed all these years ignoring them.
    Just wanted to say a big thank you for your thourough work putting these together, they are fantastic! Also, may I suggest to add "Stendal" or "Tangermünde" to your potential future destinations list? While less well known than Potsdam, especially the latter has a lot of medieval buildings to offer, plus a rich history of one time being the "capital" of the HRE.

    I'm glad to see that the Garrison Church is being rebuilt. That was where they had the funeral for President Paul Von Hindenburg in 1934, which Hitler and the Nazis attended. Alfred Hitchcock worked at the UFA Studios before he returned to Britain.and his fabulous career as a director. Potsdam was considered the film capital of Germany, like Hollywood,

    Side note: Housing shotage isn't something new. It exists practically since towns exist and not just at the moment. And big cities, especially with universities always have this problem.

      Well, there are always ups and downs regarding the accessibility of living space. In Germany for the past 30 years many communities reduced or even stopped social housing and sold their buildings to private investors and passed their social housing companies (Stadtbaugesellschaft) into privat hands too. It's not very surprising to see a shortage now.
