The Devil's Graben Bridge is a five-arched stone viaduct in Potsdam-Bornstedt, planned in 1843 by the architect Ludwig Persius and built as a pedestrian bridge. It leads over a drainage ditch of Lake Bornstedt leading into the Golmer Loch, which was created in the time of Frederick II. The construction of the bridge was part of the landscape park laid out by Peter Joseph Lenné on behalf of Frederick William IV, which connected the Bornstedt Crown Estate with Lindstedt Castle. The Devil's Ditch is now without water. This flows in clay pipes laid underground in 1891.

The fort in Sanssouci Park was a fortress model to represent new gun technology with armor in fortifications at the end of the 19th century. The Krupp company had the model fort built in 1893 in the northwestern part of Potsdam's Sanssouci park in order to convince Kaiser Wilhelm II of the basic principles of the new technology. In November 2004, the ruins were filled in by the Prussian Palaces and Gardens Foundation Berlin-Brandenburg and have not been open to the public since then.

Sanssouci is a historical building in Potsdam, near Berlin. Built by Prussian King Frederick the Great as his summer palace, it is often counted among the German rivals of Versailles. While Sanssouci is in the more intimate Rococo style and is far smaller than its French Baroque counterpart, it, too, is notable for the numerous temples and follies in the surrounding park. The palace was designed and built by Georg Wenzeslaus von Knobelsdorff between 1745 and 1747 to meet Frederick's need for a private residence where he could escape the pomp and ceremony of the royal court. The palace's name is a French phrase meaning "without worries" or "carefree", emphasising that the palace was meant as a place of relaxation rather than a seat of power.
