Signpost to the old home

Nattwerder is part of the Grube district of the city of Potsdam . The place is located in the northwest of Potsdam between Töplitz and Golm directly on the Wublitz . The village has about 40 inhabitants (2006). The village church in Nattwerder, built in 1685, is the oldest used and preserved church in Potsdam. It has been reconstructed since 2009. Since the Mark Brandenburg was often depopulated after the Thirty Years' War , the Elector Friedrich Wilhelm turned to the city fathers of Bern for help in 1683 , but to send people experienced in agriculture to the Mark. Since the economic situation around Bern was not at its peak and there was a lot of hardship, 14 families came to the market in 1685 and founded the Swiss colonist village of Nattwerder. On the southern part of Nattwerder there is a pedestrian bridge that connects the island of Potsdam with the island of Töplitz.
