An evening about Potsdam's defining hill and its tumultuous history
With The Brauhausberg or whose mountain is the mountain, the Potsdam Museum focuses on a place that stands like no other for city history, architecture, and questions about the future. The lecture by architectural historian Thomas Sander takes the audience from the historical transformation of the Brauhausberg to the current development plans surrounding the area. The event takes place at the Potsdam Museum – Forum for Art and History at the Old Market.

A panorama of history, Eastern modernity, and the present
The Brauhausberg is much more than a striking elevation above the city. It tells of military schools, MINSK, GDR urban landscapes, and today’s plans for the university campus. It is precisely this connection of monuments, cultural memory, and urban development that makes the evening exciting for everyone interested in Potsdam's urban identity.
