【柏林】荷蘭區

The Baroque-style Dutch neighbourhood (Holländerviertel) and the red-bricked gabled house complex were built between 1735 and 1742, attracting the most demanding Dutch craftsmen. The Dutch are known as experts in wetland construction, and this is in line with the needs of Potsdam, where there are many wetlands at the time.

The Dutch also provided skills such as joiners, goldsmiths and masons. Built in a Dutch tongue and half-timbered style, these houses fill an area of four blocks that was abandoned and on the verge of demolition, but today there are a variety of courtyard restaurants, cafes and bar.
