Potsdam is now known far beyond the borders of Brandenburg and Berlin for its charm and attractiveness. The cultural landscapes were added to the UNESCO World Cultural and Natural Heritage List in 1990 as the largest ensemble of German World Heritage Sites. As the former residence of the kings of Prussia, with its unique palace and park complexes, the city also impresses today with its exclusive residential qualities. Potsdam consists of 2/3 green spaces and the waters of the Havel.
The living conditions are highly valued. Since 2000, the population has grown from under 130,000 to 180,000 today. The urban life of the metropolis of Berlin and the advantages of Potsdam are prompting more and more German citizens to relocate to the state capital of Brandenburg.
