Overview
- The museum opens the special exhibition this weekend and keeps it on view through October 25, 2026.
- The display traces choices made since the 1945 destruction of the Alter Markt by presenting city plans, scale models, and architectural drawings that map competing visions.
- Visitors can study proposals at workshop tables and add their views, with a youth project planned for the summer to bring in voices that often feel left out.
- Archival materials include a large photograph of the wartime rubble and context on the cleanup and population, including an estimate that about one million cubic meters were cleared.
- The curators foreground questions such as climate adaptation and future use, which could influence how Potsdam designs and manages the square in the years ahead.
