The Jägertor from 1733 is the oldest surviving Potsdam city gate. It stands in the axis of Lindenstraße and forms one of the exits to the city to the north. It was named after the electoral Jägerhof in front of the city. The gate was originally part of Potsdam's excise wall, which was not used for fortification, but to prevent the desertion of soldiers and the smuggling of goods. Since Lindenstraße cut through the former wall at an angle, the Jägertor was built at an angle to the course of the Wall.

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.
