Reimagining the Old Market and Connecting Potsdam's History with the Future

In the Future City Lab of the Potsdam Museum, the Old Market becomes a testing ground for young city explorers. The holiday workshop is aimed at children and teenagers aged 10 and above and combines city history, exhibition experiences, and creative idea development into a vibrant afternoon in the heart of Potsdam's historical center.

A Place Full of Stories, a Glimpse into the Future

The Old Market has shaped Potsdam for centuries. The workshop focuses on how this place has evolved, what it has been used for, and what traces trade, urban development, and daily life have left here. Participants dive into the exhibition and experience the space not just as a monument but as a starting point for their own visions.

From the Museum Tower to the City Perspective

The view from above is particularly impressive: Together, we ascend the tower of the Old Town Hall, from which the Old Market reveals its full spatial impact. This perspective makes urban planning, architecture, and historical changes directly tangible. Here, a strong event experience emerges between a spirit of research and a joy of discovery.

Creative Workshop with Ideas for Tomorrow

After the tour, the creative part follows. In the workshop, children and accompanying adults develop their own visions for the Old Market. Thus, the event convincingly combines professional facilitation, targeted engagement, and participatory character. The result is not a dry theory but a personal approach to urban development.

Well Organized for Families and Holiday Guests

As a workshop/seminar at the Potsdam Museum, the format is clearly tailored to a young audience. The event location at the Old Market is central, easily accessible, and offers a rich environment for a culturally strong afternoon with the museum, exhibition, and historical building. Those who want to experience Potsdam anew will find a mix of education, experience, and creative participation here.

This holiday workshop connects historical context, perspective shifts, and practical design in an appealing way. For families, city enthusiasts, and young explorers, it creates a program that brings knowledge to life and ignites interest in their own ideas for Potsdam. Join live now and see the Old Market with new eyes.
