The Potsdam district of Eiche is located to the west of the world-famous cultural monument Park Sanssouci and is home to around 5,100 residents. The district is particularly popular due to its family-friendly and rural surroundings. Your new living environment will be dominated by low-rise residential buildings surrounded by gardens and green spaces. Eiche, which was first mentioned in a document in 1193, was for a long time an idyllic village populated by small farmers. This changed in 1881 when Eiche was developed into a military base and the first barracks were built. Eiche has retained this special locational feature, as the Havelland barracks of the German Armed Forces and the main police headquarters of the state of Brandenburg are still located in the village today.
The property is located in the north-western part of the district in a quiet and family-friendly environment not far from the "Düstere Teiche" natural monument and the natural historical beech forest "Katharinenholz". The direct proximity to Sanssouci Park also guarantees a high recreational value in Eiche. With its palaces and extensive green spaces, the park is known far beyond the borders of Germany as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and invites you to take long, relaxing walks. The Großer Zernsee lake with its idyllic bathing spots and the Golm Castle estate is also only approx. 5 km away.
Marlene Dietrich, Marika Rökk and Harry Piel once recovered from their legendary Ufa films in Babelsberg in the famous Schloss Golm spa hotel right on the shores of the Großer Zernsee. After extensive renovation, it now offers an excellent gourmet restaurant and is the first address for romantic celebrations surrounded by idyllic nature close to Berlin and Potsdam.
All the things you need for your daily needs can be found in the immediate vicinity of the property. These include a supermarket, a drinks market, a bakery and a hairdressing and beauty salon. Medical care is provided by a general practitioner and a pharmacy in the area.
There is also a wide range of options for your children in terms of care and education: from nurseries, elementary school, secondary schools and grammar schools to private schools, Potsdam offers children all kinds of options. For example, you will find two elementary school and several daycare centers within a radius of approx. 750 meters from your new home. Two academic campuses of the renowned Potsdam University are also located in the immediate vicinity. The Golm campus is only around 1.8 kilometers away and the Neuen Palais campus is only around 2.4 kilometers away.
The city of Potsdam also has a lot to offer beyond the borders of Eiche. In addition to Sanssouci Park, Babelsberg Park and the New Garden invite you to take long and extensive walks past Babelsberg Palace or Cecilienhof Palace. Numerous cultural highlights such as theater, cabaret and poetry slams can be found in Schiffbauergasse or in the city center. The numerous restaurants and bars in the city center and the many bodies of water that surround Potsdam round off the wide range of offers that guarantee a high quality of life. Potsdam consists of 2/3 forests and water.
