Potsdam viewed from above: Robert Leichsenring opens new perspectives
This lecture delves into the urban history of Potsdam and directs attention to those perspectives that often remain hidden in everyday life. Robert Leichsenring, as a Potsdam expert, city guide, and freelance collaborator with the Potsdam Museum, combines historical views with a narrative visual journey through the city. The event is announced as a free lecture at the community store Bornstedt and begins on November 25, 2026, at 7:00 PM.

A panorama of history, architecture, and memory
At the center is the view of Potsdam from half height: a perspective between towers, rooftops, and elevations that makes urban changes visible while also revealing the emotional topography of a city. Leichsenring is familiar with such narrative spaces; his work on Potsdam’s lines, street lighting, and urban history has been recognized by the Potsdam Museum and the state capital Potsdam.

Reading atmosphere and literary experience
Although the evening is formally announced as a lecture, it possesses the qualities of a carefully composed reading: language, voice, image, and context interlink. The combination of historical photographs, local knowledge, and cultural-historical context creates an intimate author encounter with the urban researcher, who not only explains Potsdam but makes it readable. This corresponds to a form of literary storytelling that intertwines observation, memory, and analysis.

Bornstedt as a fitting place for urban history
The community store Bornstedt at Jochen-Klepper-Straße 7a, 14469 Potsdam, is clearly confirmed as the event location. The venue is embedded in a vibrant neighborhood that is easily accessible and is already regularly used for open, neighborly formats. This creates a relaxed atmosphere for visitors, inviting contemplation about urban change, photography, and memory culture.
