Where to stay in Südliche Innenstadt
Where the beds are, and what that means for the visit.
Museums decide it. The Museum Barberini, the Potsdam Museum and the Filmmuseum Potsdam sit within the same walkable stretch, so a room in the Südliche Innenstadt puts a visitor inside the densest run of Potsdam's collections. Heinrich-Mann-Allee and the Brauhausberg mark the outer reaches, with the Berliner-Kindl-Brauerei am Brauhausberg standing on the hill.

About Südliche Innenstadt
What are the main landmarks in Südliche Innenstadt?
Collections dominate the quarter. The Museum Barberini, the Potsdam Museum, the Filmmuseum Potsdam and the Naturkundemuseum Potsdam all fall inside it, with the Museum FLUXUS+ and the Waisenhaus-Museum adding two smaller holdings to the same ground. Monuments and older buildings fill the gaps: the French church, the Jan Bouman Haus, the Steubendenkmal, the Helmertturm and the Sculpture of the Unknown Deserter, with the Sowjetischer Ehrenfriedhof at Bassinplatz among them.
What is the history of Südliche Innenstadt?
The record here is built of buildings rather than dates. Nothing in the entry fixes a founding year for the Südliche Innenstadt, and what stands instead is a list running from the Jan Bouman Haus and the French church through to the Steubendenkmal and the Helmertturm. Later layers show too.
The Sculpture of the Unknown Deserter and the Sowjetischer Ehrenfriedhof at Bassinplatz stand as the quarter's memorials, while the Berliner-Kindl-Brauerei am Brauhausberg marks the industrial side of the same ground.
Where is Südliche Innenstadt?
