The DIIR has organized a splendid day program on November 20th, 2008 for all spouses of the conference participants. The sightseers will keep tracks of Frederick the Great through Potsdam. Sanssouci is the former summer palace of Frederick the Great, King of Prussia at Potsdam, just outside Berlin. Sanssouci, means “without sorrow” in French. That is how Frederick the Great wanted to live in his palace in which he almost spent forty years. The Sanssouci Palace was his dream on the sandy soil of Brandenburg – where he also wanted to be buried. From the Sanssouci Palace, the participants of the trip will continue to the Palace of Glienicke – the former summer residence of Prince Carl of Prussia – where lunch will be held. The program will be completed by discovering the rich diversity of the city of Potsdam – among others the Russian colony Alexandrowka with its picturesque wood houses, the Dutch district of the Soldier King and the baroque New Market.
Participation at the Complementary Program “Potsdam” is free of charge. |
