Kaiserin-Augusta-Stift, Cultural heritage monument in Potsdam, Germany.

The Kaiserin-Augusta-Stift complex features neo-Romanesque architecture with a dining hall, gymnasium, hospital, chapel, and residential quarters spread across multiple buildings.

Built between 1900 and 1902, the institution provided education and housing for up to 80 orphaned daughters of nobility, officers, clergymen, and civil servants.

The former orphanage turned residential complex represents German social welfare history and early 20th-century educational infrastructure for disadvantaged children.

Following extensive restoration work in 2007, the building now contains 40 modern apartment units while maintaining its protected monument status.

From 1945 until 1994, the Soviet secret service KGB operated their European headquarters within this former orphanage building complex.
