‘Orangery Palace’This palace was built by Friedrich Wilhelm IV while he was on the throne from 1851-1864. It is built in Italian Renaissance style and consists of a main middle building and a twin tower on each side.
Review by contributing editor ‘New Palace’Construction for the New Palace began in 1763 to celebrate Prussia's success in the Seven Years War, under the reign of Fredrick the Great. It is considered to be the last great Prussian baroque palace. The New Palace functioned as a reception hall for important royals and dignitaries and included four main gathering rooms and a theater for royal functions, state occasions and balls. After Frederick the Great died in 1786, the New Palace fell into disuse and was rarely occupied as a residence or used as an entertainment venue.
Review by contributing editor ‘Glienicke Bridge’The Glienicke Bridge was completed in 1907 and connects the cities of Potsdam and Berlin. The United States and the Soviet Union used the bridge three times during the Cold War to exchange captured spies starting in 1962 and ending in 1986.
