  • The old Admirals’ Palace is the only remaining theatre in Berlin’s erstwhile entertainment district. Today it is the home of the Metropoltheater (currently closed).

  • A detour to the Russian colony in Potsdam feels like a journey to Russia itself. Decorated log cabins with picturesque gardens were built here in 1826 for a Russian military choir.

  • Alte Schönhauser Straße is one of the oldest streets in Spandauer Vorstadt. The lively road is still characterized by a colourful jumble of traditional and trendy new shops.

  • An impressive classicist building designed by Schinkel and rebuilt in 2004 to house the Berlin offices of Bertelsmann.

  • One of Berlin’s most important publishing houses was based in this Art Nouveau corner house in the former newspaper district.

  • The old town hall, built in 1753, is decorated with sculptures and Potsdam’s coat of arms – two gilded Atlas figures, each carrying a globe.

  • The area round this road is one of the closest to the original old Scheunenviertel, featuring old interior courtyards and many buildings that have not yet been restored.

  • This theatre, established in 1891–2 by Heinrich Seeling, was the main venue for Bertolt Brecht’s plays.

  • The log cabin, built in1819, was a present from King Friedrich Wilhelm III to his daughter Charlotte and his son-in-law, future Tsar Nicholas I. The wooden Russian-style dacha was restored after a fire in 1985.

  • The most attractive of five former town gates was built by Gontard and Unger in 1770 in the Neo-Classical style to celebrate Prussian victory in the Seven Years’ War.
