Potsdam is the capital of Brandenburg with a population around 182,000. Sanssouci Palace, built for Frederick the Great in 1747 as his summer retreat, anchors a UNESCO World Heritage ensemble of palaces and gardens covering 500 hectares. The Cecilienhof palace hosted the Potsdam Conference in 1945 where Truman, Stalin, and Attlee divided post-war Europe. The Hollaendisches Viertel (Dutch Quarter), built in the 1730s to attract Dutch settlers, has 134 red-brick houses and is the largest such ensemble outside the Netherlands.
Studio Babelsberg, founded in 1912, is one of the world's oldest large-scale film studios; productions from "Metropolis" to "The Grand Budapest Hotel" were shot here. The Universitaet Potsdam has around 21,000 students. Potsdam borders Berlin directly and is reachable by S-Bahn from central Berlin in about 40 minutes. The Glienicker Bruecke (Bridge of Spies) between Potsdam and Berlin-Wannsee was the Cold War's most famous spy exchange point. Adult companionship in Potsdam follows Brandenburg's regulatory framework, separate from Berlin's despite the shared border.
