Kunst- & Kulturquartier Schiffbauergasse

Lake Tiefer See ripples now, as ever, along the banks of the Potsdam quarter known as the Shipbuilder's Lane (Schiffbauergasse). The historical diversity lends itself at first glance to intrigue: the Prussian Hussars blew their shrill whistles as they completed their drills; an array of Prussian chateaus and gardens fill the Lane; the great steam boats of the Havel River were once built here; and teeming fish hatcheries were operated on the banks of Lake Tiefer See. Contemporary times have witnessed the Shipbuilder's Lane morph into an astonishing, innovative locale intriguingly combining the industrial with the cultural. The twelve hectares propped on the waterside offer creativity at its finest: the art and cultural scenes meet high-tech enterprises as exciting history meets a trend-setting future. Welcome to Shipbuilder's Lane!
