Science and Education in Potsdam
In Potsdam research has a longstanding tradition and is largely characterized by activities in the fields of astrophysics, geodesy and gravitational research. The research location of Telegrafenberg came into being in 1874 with the establishment of the world’s first special astrophysical observatory. As a result of the particularly dense clustering of scientific institutions and companies and the lovely location close to lakes, palaces, parks and gardens, the city is ideal as a site for scientific congresses and conferences. In support hereof, the city offers a modern infrastructure as well as the Dorint Hotel Sanssouci Potsdam.
