Dutch Quarter, Residential district in central Potsdam, Germany.
The Dutch Quarter contains 134 red brick houses arranged in four squares, featuring alternating gables and traditional Dutch architectural elements.
Frederick William I commissioned architect Jan Bouman to construct this neighborhood between 1734 and 1742 to accommodate Dutch craftsmen and their families.
The quarter maintains three annual celebrations: a tulip festival in April, a pottery market in September, and a Dutch Christmas market in December.
The neighborhood houses numerous art galleries, craft workshops, antique stores, cafes, and two museums documenting the history of Dutch settlement.
The district represents the largest collection of Dutch-style buildings outside the Netherlands, with structures made from red bricks sourced from Rathenow.
