Holländisches Viertel (Dutch Quarter)
Holländisches Viertel (Dutch Quarter) Review
The center of the small Holländisches Viertel is an easy walk north along Friedrich-Ebert-Strasse to Mittelstrasse. Friedrich Wilhelm I built the settlement in 1742 to entice Dutch artisans who could support the city's rapid growth. Few Dutch came, and the gabled, mansard-roof brick houses were largely used to house staff. Stores and restaurants inhabit the buildings now, and the area is Potsdam's most-visited.
