A king once dreamed of peace so vivid he built a sanctuary in its honor beside ancient mills and secret chambers, all hidden within the leafy heart of Potsdam. This is your self-guided audio tour, designed to peel back layers of Brandenburger Vorstadt and reveal stories stitched into its stones.

Wander from landmark to landmark, guided by voices from the past, and find corners most travelers rush past. Why did a single midnight noise almost change the fate of Sanssouci forever?

What whispered rebellion brewed behind the New Chambers’ elegant facade? Who left a forbidden carving in the shadow of the Church of Peace, and why has it never been removed?

Stride along palace walls, through gardens humming with history and under milling shadows. Trace the lines of intrigue and vision that shaped this city, and watch the familiar turn strange, mysterious, and alive.

Uncover what lies behind Potsdam’s peaceful mask—press play to begin.
