A historic place opens its doors at Jungfernsee

The Potsdam Waterworks (18|60) on September 13, 2026, takes visitors to a location where technological history and contemporary history lie closely together. Between Bertinistraße and Jungfernsee, guests can experience an unusual event with guided tours, a historical setting, and a look at one of the oldest waterworks in Potsdam.

Technology, memory, and a special atmosphere

The facility was commissioned in 1876 and decommissioned in 1952. Today, it tells the story of the development of drinking water supply, the transformation of the city, and a past that remains visible in Nedlitz and along Bertinistraße to this day. This blend of technical significance and historical depth makes the tour so impressive.

Guided tours every hour

The site is open from 10:30 AM to 5:00 PM. Guided tours by the Association of Memorial Sites Potsdam Border e.V. start at the beginning of each hour, providing a clear structure for the visit.

The event connects the history of the waterworks with the border facilities at Jungfernsee, thus creating a special experience for everyone who wants to feel city history not just read about it. The visit is complemented by a catering offer.
