Potsdam (German pronunciation: [ˈpɔtsdam]), is the capital city of the German federal state of Brandenburg. It directly borders the German capital Berlin and is part of the Berlin/Brandenburg Metropolitan Region. It is situated on the River Havel, 24 kilometres (15 miles) southwest of Berlin's city center.
Potsdam was a residence of the Prussian kings and the German Kaiser, until 1918. Around the city there are a series of interconnected lakes and cultural landmarks, in particular the parks and palaces of Sanssouci, the largest World Heritage Site in Germany. The Potsdam Conference, the major post-World War II conference between the victorious Allies, was held at another palace in the area, the Cecilienhof.
Babelsberg, in the south-eastern part of Potsdam, was a major film production studio before the war and has enjoyed success as a major center of European film production since the fall of the Berlin Wall. The Filmstudio Babelsberg is the oldest large-scale film studio in the world.
The Potsdam Conference was held at Cecilienhof, the home of Crown Prince Wilhelm Hohenzollern, in Potsdam, occupied Germany, from 17 July to 2 August 1945. (In some older documents it is also referred to as the Berlin Conference of the Three Heads of Government of the USSR, USA and UK.) Participants were the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom and the United States. The three powers were represented by Communist Party General Secretary Joseph Stalin, Prime Ministers Winston Churchill and, later, Clement Attlee, and President Harry S. Truman.
Stalin, Churchill, and Truman—as well as Attlee, who participated alongside Churchill while awaiting the outcome of the 1945 general election, and then replaced Churchill as Prime Minister after the Labour Party's defeat of the Conservatives—gathered to decide how to administer the defeated Nazi Germany, which had agreed to unconditional surrender nine weeks earlier, on 8 May (V-E Day). The goals of the conference also included the establishment of post-war order, peace treaty issues, and countering the effects of the war.

Germany (/ˈdʒɜːrməni/; German: Deutschland [ˈdɔʏtʃlant]), officially the Federal Republic of Germany (German: Bundesrepublik Deutschland, listen ), is a federal parliamentary republic in West-Central Europe. It includes 16 constituent states and covers an area of 357,021 square kilometres (137,847 sq mi) with a largely temperate seasonal climate. Its capital and largest city is Berlin. With about 81.5 million inhabitants, Germany is the most populous member state in the European Union. After the United States, it is the second most popular migration destination in the world.
Various Germanic tribes have occupied northern Germany since classical antiquity. A region named Germania was documented before 100 AD. During the Migration Period the Germanic tribes expanded southward. Beginning in the 10th century, German territories formed a central part of the Holy Roman Empire. During the 16th century, northern German regions became the centre of the Protestant Reformation.
Kaiser Wilhelm is a common reference to two German emperors:

Impressions filmed on the road from Berlin to Potsdam, just after the end of World War Two from Potsdam, close to Berlin (south-west). These images must have been shot in or after July 13th in 1945. At 2:20 we see Lt. Col. George Stevens, head of the signal corps of the US Army, showing a card - maybe an invitation card - to the Berlin Conference of the Allied Powers that took place in July 1945. Around Potsdam and in the city, the camera filmed many German refugees, families, pulling their last belongings. At the end (4:45) we get a short glimpse at the Orangery Palace at Sanssouci.

Potsdam ist die ehemalige Residenz der preußischen Könige und die Hauptstadt des Bundeslandes Brandenburg. Um die Innenstadt nach historischem Vorbild zu rekonstruieren, sind schon viele Milliarden investiert worden. Weitere Themen: http://www.dw.com/de/programm/hin-weg/s-9815-9801
Potsdam is the capital of Brandenburg and borders Berlin. The town has population of approx. 160,000. It is widely known for its castles and landscape as a World Heritage Site. Potsdam is more than 1000 years old. Many historic buildings are under re-construction after World War II and the period of the GDR. For most of its recent history Potsdam has not been accessible from Berlin. The last station before the former GDR was Wannsee. Many of the buildings that are visible today have been reconstructed after the bombings of the Second World War and after the lax care of the East German Government. Potsdam has several claims to national and international notability. In Germany, it had a similar status that Windsor has in the United Kingdom: it was the residence of the Prussian kings and t...

First documented in the 13th century, Berlin became the capital of the Margraviate of Brandenburg (1417-1701), the Kingdom of Prussia (1701–1918), the German Empire (1871–1918), the Weimar Republic (1919–1933) and the Third Reich (1933–1945). Berlin in the 1920s was the third largest municipality in the world. After World War II, the city was divided; East Berlin became the capital of East Germany while West Berlin became a de facto West German exclave, surrounded by the Berlin Wall (1961–1989). Following German reunification in 1990, the city was once more designated as the capital of all Germany, hosting 158 foreign embassies. (Wikipedia)
Take a tour of Potsdam's St. Nikolai Church in Potsdam, Germany -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats. Potsdam, Germany is famous for many important sites and events, including its spectacular St. Nikolai Church. This imposing church is located in the Old Market Square of this ancient Germanic city, and was built in the mid 19th century. The later constructed Romanesque tower is topped by a Renaissance dome of copper, at the peak of which is an elegant golden cross. The ground on which the church stands has housed various churches and holy sites for centuries, dating back to the 1300s. The church was extensively damaged during World War II, and has since been in a state of constant reconstruction. Recently the church's renovations w...
