Pretty little politics.
My second day in Germany I took the train to Potsdam, a small city just outside Berlin. My initial plan was to rent a bike and pedal around the town. However, upon arrival I impulsively joined an all too expensive tour group. When the weather turned to rain a bit later in the afternoon, I didn’t regret my decision too much.
The small city of Potsdam has long had a political history. It was the site of the Prussian court until the 1900s. Later in the century, Potsdam hosted political moments such as the Potsdam Conference, held at Cecilienhof.
This was Stalin’s room during the Potsdam Conference.
These chimney’s are faux but certainly stylish.
Further back in history, Prussian royalty enjoyed relaxing at the palace, Sans Souci (without cares).
After the tour I explored the stretch of touristy shops, visited a German film museum, and novelty snacked in the park, before taking the train back into Berlin.
xo, jill
