A culinary journey through Potsdam's city history

With Pots, Table, Thousand Years! Spoonfuls of City History, the Potsdam Museum invites you to a holiday workshop that elegantly combines historical awareness and sensory exploration. Children aged 8 and over will experience an afternoon at the Old Market where city history is unveiled not abstractly, but through recipes, stories, and hands-on experimentation.

A history you can taste

The workshop introduces the cultural everyday history of Potsdam and poses a question that immediately piques curiosity: What did people eat centuries ago, how was it cooked, and what roles did table, pot, and spoon play in daily life? From this perspective, the museum becomes a stage for a lively reading atmosphere where historical contexts become as important as curiosity, language, and memory.

A museum experience for young explorers

The event combines literary-cultural storytelling with practical experience. Stories from the city's history become audible, tangible, and understandable, while participants try out an old recipe. This creates a literary experience that convincingly merges knowledge transfer, museum education, and cultural education.

The venue is the Potsdam Museum at the Old Market, a house that radiates a special aura due to its location in the historic center. Arrival is easily possible by bus, tram, train, and bicycle; moreover, the museum offers barrier-free access and parking options in the vicinity. The format is aimed at families and young visitors who wish to not only see but also experience city history with all their senses.
