Historic Quarters
Weberviertel - The Weavers’ Quarter
Romantic weavers' cottages and streets named Tuchmacher (Clothworker street), Garn (Yarn street), and Spindel (Spindle street) are reminiscent of the old weavers colony Nowawes. The colony was built upon request of Frederick II.
Neubabelsberg - The Exclusive Residential Colony New Babelsberg
A stroll through New Babelsberg reveals great architecture, glamour, and history in this exclusive residential quarter.
The Russian Colony Alexandrowka
The Alexandrowka colony was created in 1826-27 upon the request of Frederick Wilhelm III in memory of his deceased friend Czar Alexander I.
Holländisches Viertel - The Dutch Quarter
Residents and tourists are equally fond of the Dutch Quarter, which covers an area of four city blocks with about 150 houses built of red bricks in the Dutch style: unplastered, with white seams, shuttered windows, and sometimes, sweeping gables.
