Potsdam

This Muslim Friendly Travel Guide is part of eHalal.io Travel Group SchlossSanssouci - |Schloss Sanssouci

Potsdam is the capital of Brandenburg and borders Berlin. The town has a population of approx. 175,000. 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.

Potsdam Halal Travel Guide

Located about 30 kilometers southwest of the capital, Potsdam was used as a residence for the kings of Prussia when they wanted to get away from the big-city trouble (and potential rabble-rousers) in Berlin, and in a way it still has a similar function, as many well-to-do people from Berlin have either moved here or have bought a second residence here since reunification in 1990. Potsdam also serves as the capital of the Bundesland of Brandenburg, after an attempt to reunite Berlin and Brandenburg in a single Bundesland failed in the early 1990s.

For most of its recent history Potsdam has not been accessible from the former West 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. The city as we see it today is the work of five architects (After the Great Elector said: "Das ganze Eyland muß ein Paradies werden" [The whole island must become a paradise]): Peter Joseph Lenné, Georg Wenzeslaus von Knobelsdorff, Carl Phillipp Christian von Gontard, Karl Friedrich Schinkel and Friedrich Ludwig Persius, and of course King Frederick the Great and Emperor Wilhelm II.

Most attractions in the city are UNESCO World Heritage sites: Sanssouci Park and the Crown estate of Bornstedt, The New Garden (including the Pfingstberg and the Russian colony of Alxandrowka), Babelsberg Park and Sacrow Park.

The suburb Babelsberg is home to the /content/media-city-babelsberg Media City Babelsberg (Medienstadt Babelsberg), an area joining movie and media people together. The film studio Babelsberg and the Konrad Wolf Film University of Babelsberg and other schools, radio and TV stations, a museum and an archive, an amusement park and much more is located there. Babelsberg was one of the first large scale studio complexes in the world and movies produced here enjoyed an excellent reputation until the Nazi perioid and World War II destroyed much of Germany's cultural output and potential. Today the Berlin area is competing with the Cologne region for the top spot in the German media landscape.

Travel to Potsdam

By suburban rail

Potsdam is in the Berlin metropolitan area and served by both inner and outer suburban trains, called S-Bahn and RegionalExpress (RE) trains respectively. Several lines serve Potsdam, but not the same parts. Almost all trains that go from Berlin to Potsdam can be used with an ABC or BC zone ticket for Berlin, so if you are staying in Berlin and buy a day ticket ask yourself whether you want to go to Potsdam (then buy ABC, valid for all of Berlin and many towns in the surroundings, most notably Potsdam) or not (then buy AB, valid for all of Berlin).

For central Potsdam, you should travel to

• Potsdam Hauptbahnhof 52.3917, 13.0667 - Potsdam Hauptbahnhof Pdm hbf , which is the terminus for S-Bahn S7 and also served by Regionalexpress RE1 towards Brandenburg or Magdeburg. From the most centrally located station, Berlin Friedrichstraße, it takes 47 min to Potsdam Hbf by S1 (40 min: S7+S1) and 28 min by RE1 and the latter making limited stops in inner areas.

For the Schloss Sanssouci, Park Sanssouci and Krongut Bornstedt, you should take an RE1 train direction Brandenburg (not Magdeburg) and get off at Charlottenhof and the station following Potsdam Hbf. From there the mentioned attractions are 10 minutes away on foot.

For Babelsberg, you should take the S-Bahn S7 to Babelsberg and the station preceding Potsdam Hbf.

For the Medienstadt (film studios), you should take an RE7 train direction Bad Belzig or Dessau and get off at Medienstadt Babelsberg.

Your ticket must be valid for at least Berlin zones BC in order to travel to Potsdam; however, tickets and travelcards valid for the entire metropolitan area are of course also valid. For more information on this, visit the local transport website of the Berlin metropolitan area.

By bus

While Berlin has had intercity bus service even before the deregulation of Intercity buses in Germany|the market the fact that buses can't sell tickets for trips shorter than 50 kilometers makes Potsdam somewhat underserved. There are several stops in Berlin however and ZOB (the central bus station) is served by the S-Bahn

By car

• highway A10 or A115

Buy a Flight ticket to and from Potsdam

Berlin has two airports which are not far away from Potsdam. From Tegel (IATA Flight Code: TXL) bus X9 connects to Jungfernheide S-Bahn station, from where you can take S42 to Westkreuz and then S7 and S1 to Potsdam (for passengers to Charlottendorf or Medienstadt RE trains connect to the S7 at Wannsee).

From Schönefeld (IATA Flight Code: SXF), suburban train line RB22 connects to Potsdam Hbf (and also stops at Potsdam Charlottenhof). If you want to go to Medienstadt you should change to RE7 or MR33 at Michendorf. For going to Babelsberg you should change to S-Bahn S7 at Potsdam Hbf.

By tram and bus

TramsInPotsdam2012 - The Potsdam Tramway network

The tram and bus system in Potsdam is very modern and overall excellent though confusing. Potsdam is (together with Berlin and the rest of Brandenburg) part of the VBB transportation network. That enables you to change trams and buses pretty much at will, as long as your ticket is valid for the zone you're in. The inner city of Potsdam is in Zone A and the outer parts are in Zone B, and the hinterland is Zone C.

Potsdam itself lies in Berlin's Zone C, so if you have a ticket for Berlin ABC or Berlin BC, you can use public transport in Potsdam with it as well. Don't confuse Potsdam's zones with Berlin's zones.

Tickets can be purchased at ticket machines in every tram and bus. Unfortunately they're of no big help when it comes to choosing the right ticket, and furthermore they only accept coins and rechargeable "Geldkarten", but no bills. It's best to get detailed information about prices and zones at Potsdam's central station or on the VBB website].

The transport, although confusing at first, is pretty logically laid out - each tourist attraction has its own bus / tram stop (with the appropriate name) and the staff of the VBB are extremely helpful, although language barriers can exist.

For tourists there are five main lines in and around Potsdam:

• Schlösser-Linie (Palaces Line): Bus No 695 from Potsdam Hauptbahnhof - Bahnhof Pirschheide. With stops for: The Historic Steam Engine House, Sanssouci Palace and Park, The Orangery and the Dragon House and the Belvedere, The New Palace and a path to the Charlottenhof Park.
• Krongut-Linie (Crown Estate Line): Tram No 92 from Potsdam Hauptbahnhof - Bornstedt Kirschallee. With stops for: The Dutch Quarter, The Russian Colony (Alexandrowka) and the Pfingstberg and the Potsdam Biosphere and the Volkspark.
• Tropen-Linie (Tropics Line): From Potsdam Hauptbahnhof - Viereckremise. With stops for: The Historic Downtown and the Russian Colony (Alexandrowka),the Pfingstberg and the Potsdam Biosphere and the Volkspark.
• Cecilienhof-Linie (Cecilienhof Line): From Potsdam Hauptbahnhof take Tram Nos 90/92 to Reiterweg / Alleestraße and then Bus No 692 - Höhenstraße. With stops for: The Russian colony (Alexandrowka) and the New Garden and the Marble Palace, Celcilienhof Palace and the Pfingstberg.
• Filmstadt-Linie (Film City Line): From Potsdam Hauptbahnhof - Stern-Center / Gerlachstraße. With stops for: Babelsberg palace and park, Flatow Tower and the Arcaded Court House and the Neubabelsberg Villa Colony, Babelsberg Media City and the Film Park.

• Brandenburg an der Havel — less than 30 minutes away by train
• Magdeburg — the historic capital of Saxony-Anhalt, taking an hour from Potsdam to cover the distance (the train to Brandenburg an der Havel continues to Magdeburg)
