Weinberg am Klausberg, Vineyard and UNESCO World Heritage Site in Potsdam, Germany
Weinberg am Klausberg is a working vineyard on a Potsdam hillside with several grape varieties and fruit trees tended using traditional methods. The site spreads across Maulbeerallee street and sits within the UNESCO World Heritage area.
Frederick the Great founded this vineyard in 1769 as part of his royal garden plans on Klausberg hill. The Dragon House and Belvedere were built around the same time, shaping how the hill was used for wine and fruit growing.
The vineyard is woven into Potsdam's royal garden landscape and shows how wine and fruit cultivation were integrated into park design. Visitors can see how nature and architecture were meant to work together in this era.
The vineyard is open to visitors during the season with guided tours and tastings available where you can learn about the place and how it operates. Wear comfortable shoes since the hillside slopes upward and paths cross the working grounds.
Wine lovers from around the world can sponsor individual plants on the vineyard through an adoption program and help support them. This personal connection makes the place special for those who feel part of keeping it going.
