A Place with History

Founded by an empress, preserved through several eras to this day.

The Erlöserkirche was built for a middle-class residential quarter, in contrast to the splendour of the palaces – for the people who live here. We carry this story forward: together, openly, without barriers.

✓ Founded by Auguste Viktoria, the last German Empress
✓ The heartbeat of the Brandenburger Vorstadt for more than 125 years
✓ Visible from Sanssouci – an integral part of Potsdam's cityscape
