Potsdam

Sanssouci Palace's home

Potsdam is a city in northeastern Germany, capital of Brandenburg state, situated just southwest of Berlin.

It served as the residence of Prussian kings and German emperors, leaving a legacy of palaces and gardens—most famously Sanssouci.

The Potsdam Conference of 1945 brought Allied leaders together after World War II to determine Germany's postwar administration.
