Itinerary

Sanssouci Palace is one of the most beautiful palaces in Europe and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It was the summer residence of Frederick the Great and was built between 1745 and 1747. The palace is only one storey high (the upper floors are secondary wings) and sits on a terraced vineyard. Inside you will find stunning interiors. The main room is the Marble Hall, whose walls are decorated with gold and marble. Other interesting rooms include the Dining Room, which was used as a courtroom when necessary, and the Music Hall, considered a masterpiece of German Rococo. The palace is surrounded by a large park with alternating French and English gardens. Southern European vines, fig trees and yews grow on six terraces. There is a beautiful Baroque flower garden with a fountain and many marble statues. The extensive park contains unique buildings including the imposing New Palace, the Belvedere, the Golden Chinese Pavilion, the Dragon House, the Orangery and the Roman Baths.

Learn more about this chapter of Nazi history at Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp, now a museum and memorial. More than 200,000 people died here between 1936 and 1945. At first, the prisoners were mainly political opponents of the Nazi regime, but later they were joined by people the Nazis considered racially or biologically inferior. In addition to the wooden prison barracks, there were also brick houses for SS members and several factory buildings where prisoners were used as slave labour. On 22 April 1961, the Sachsenhausen National Memorial was inaugurated on the site of the former concentration camp to symbolise the victory of anti-fascism. It includes the original buildings which house permanent exhibitions.
