Holy Lake

Highlight • Lake

The Holy Lake and the New Garden - it is this connection between parks and water areas that makes this area so appealing. In addition, there are always the lines of sight to the Marble Palace, Cecilienhof Palace and over the narrow headland to the Havel (Jungfernsee). For me one of the most beautiful corners of the Potsdam cultural landscape.

View of the Marble Palace Across Heiliger See

Highlight • Viewpoint

One of the most beautiful views across the water to the Marble Palace is offered from the eastern shore of the Holy Lake. The Marble Palace was the starting point for the layout of the New Garden.

Villa Kellermann

Highlight • Historical Site

Built in 1914 for the royal master of ceremonies W. von Hardt, the Villa Kellermann represents a hundred years of German and Potsdam history. During the Weimar Republic, the house belonged to the Jewish banker Emil Wittenberg. It was expropriated by the National Socialists and the army command of the Wehrmacht moved into the villa. After 1945, the GDR Cultural Association took over the property, which was named after the writer Bernhard Kellermann. From 1990 to 2009, the Beletage was used as a restaurant, after which the villa was largely empty. With the reopening, a place has now emerged that is intended to give Potsdamers a warm welcome and be a meeting place for family get-togethers, enjoyable hours, evenings with friends and lavish celebrations.

Holy Lake

Highlight • Lake

Beautifully landscaped park on the lake. A lap around the lake goes in parts. Part of it leads through a residential area.

Marble Palace
The Marble Palace in the New Garden in Potsdam was the summer palace of King Frederick William II of Prussia. The architects Carl von Gontard, Carl Gotthard Langhans and Michael Philipp Boumann built it in the early classicist style between 1787 and 1793 and 1797 in an English park designed by Johann August Eyserbeck close to the banks of the river. The “new house” was the private life of the musically gifted man Reserved for the king. With this new building, the nephew and successor of Frederick the Great, who remained childless, distanced himself spatially and architecturally from his little-loved uncle, who preferred rococo forms with Palladian echoes throughout his life. At the same time, however, it is the stylistic continuation of a pleasure palace (of the baroque Maison de plainsance type) into the new age of classicism, similar to the slightly earlier Wörlitz.Heiligen Sees Castle.
