On Tuesday I got four postcards: three from Germany and one from Sri Lanka.
One of the cards from Germany shows the New Palace in Potsdam. The New Palace was built after the end of the Seven Years' War between 1763 and 1769 at the behest of Frederick the Great. It was actually not intended to be used as royal residence, however Emperor Wilhelm II used it as summer residence between 1888 and 1918. It is considered to be the last great Prussian baroque palace. As one of the Palaces and Parks of Potsdam and Berlin is the New Palace since 1990 on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
