Brauhausberg

The Brauhausberg is a summit in Potsdam that rises approximately 88 meters above sea level and offers wide views across the Brandenburg landscape. A historic structure occupies the hilltop and is accessible to visitors exploring the site.

King Friedrich Wilhelm III commissioned a Belvedere at the summit for Queen Luise in the early 1800s, which was destroyed during World War II bombardments. Later, the site became the seat of Brandenburg's regional government in the modern era.

The Royal Prussian Military School, built in 1902, showcases imperial-romantic architecture and later served as the Brandenburg state parliament until 2015.

The summit is reached by well-marked hiking trails that connect to nearby attractions and provide orientation through the natural pathways. Good walking shoes are recommended because the terrain is uneven and natural.

Local residents nicknamed the main building 'Kreml' when the Socialist Unity Party took control in the late 1940s, a reference that reflected the political tensions of the divided Germany at that time. This informal name captured how people perceived the building's new role in the era.
