Peace - Stele at the Old Cemetery: A Special Moment Between History and Sound

On September 13, 2026, the Old Cemetery Potsdam will open its gates for an impressive event experience centered around the Peace Stele. The historic site on Heinrich-Mann-Allee combines monument preservation, cultural history, and a quiet, almost park-like event atmosphere.

History Meets Lively Audience Atmosphere

The Old Cemetery opened in 1796, was designed to be park-like around 1850, and is one of the most significant historical cemetery facilities in Brandenburg. The Arnim Chapel dates back to 1851 and is based on a design by court architect Ferdinand von Arnim. This mix of architecture, memory culture, and quiet dignity shapes the experience on site.

Sounding Stele and Unique Impressions On Site

Between 3 PM and 5 PM, the Sounding Stele will ring out: Carillon players bring the historic carillon to life. This will be accompanied by live music, a gastronomic offering, and grounds that are accessible to people with mobility impairments. This creates a special connection between sightseeing, cultural programming, and an atmospheric stroll.

Getting There, Opening Hours, and Practical Information

The grounds are open from 7 AM to 6 PM. Public transportation access is available through the Schlaatzstraße stops with bus lines 602 and 690, as well as Friedhöfe with tram lines 91, 93, and 96 from Potsdam Central Station. It is about a 200-meter walk from there. Visiting the monuments and the associated offerings is free of charge, and donations are welcome.

Conclusion: A Cultural Event for the Curious Who Want to Experience Potsdam Differently

The Peace Stele at the Old Cemetery Potsdam offers more than just a guided tour: it combines monument history, music, and a quiet, intense place into a special excursion. Those who want to experience Potsdam with all their senses should take part in this event live.
