Our Home For Exchange

Description of the home we are offering for exchange

++ WE ARE NOW LOOKING for Easter 2023 in Germany and summer 2023 in Greece (Peloponnes) :-) +++ PLEASE surprise us :-) we are open to all offers

We had more than 25 wonderful exchanges. Thank you all!!!

Our house is situated in a quiet but central part of Potsdam called Babelsberg (also famous for its movie studios) - 3 minutes to walk to excellent public transport (very well connected to BERLIN - every 10 min a train takes you within 20 min to the centre).
We are a family of 6 (Nicolai and Sandra - both 49 y., girl 23, boys 21, 19 and 16) and live in this old historic quarter of Potsdam with a castle in a nice green park at the water (river Havel with public beach: 8 minutes by bike as well as clear lakes). Three of our kids are studying (in Nordhausen, Kiel and Erfurt) and the nest is nearly empty...
Downstairs we have 2 kid´s rooms, kickertable, bathroom with shower, livingroom and kitchen, upstairs bathroom with bathtub, parents sleeping room, 2 rooms for the kids and our guestroom (bunkbed) with the desk.
Shops for daily needs are very close: within a 3 minutes walk - butcher, bakeries, supermarkets, organic food shop, cinema, cafés, icecreamshops, pubs, banks... different playgrounds and the beautiful park with an outdoor Swimming pool too :-)

Neighbourhood

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area

Our neighbourhood is family-friendly. Many houses are built in an old historic style as the weavers of king Frederic the great lived in this quarter. Our neighbours at the yard are very friendly and helpful.
Potsdam is situated in the midst of a wonderful landscape of lakes and woodlands and its castles, palaces and gardens are part of UNESCO´s world cultural heritage. You may explore Potsdam by bicycle (mostly separate paths) or tram easily, but it is also possible to canoe :-). In 2017 Potsdam was named in newspapers all around the world with its "worlds most famous new opening of a museum": Barberini palace with an exhibition of famous impressionism paintings of modern art classics (Edvard Munch, Max Liebermann, Claude Monet...) opened.
About 20 min. by car you may reach marvellous lakes and forests for hiking, swimming, biking, exploring...

Our house (built 2007, two levels, about 134 sqm) has a garden and terrace as well as a balcony. At the yard we have a very big BERG-Kettcar and a trampoline (4,30 metres). Playgrounds for small and older kids are close to our home, as well as tabletennis, basketball or other possibilities. It is really fine to live here with kids and teens and explore the environment with lots of culture and nature.

Attractions

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home

Babelsberg is world-famous for its movie-studios. Here you may explore how movies are made: stuntshows, a look behind the scenes, filmanimals in front of the camera and more attractions offer you a diversified day.
Sanssouci (castle and a wide park), castle Cecilienhof (where in 1945 the contract for the splitting of Germany was signed), Baroque buildings and the 17 palaces neatly surrounded by vast landscape parks form the core of Potsdam’s many attractions. The centrally located Dutch Quarter greatly appeals to visitors with its red brick buildings and sweeping gables. Just a few minutes from the city centre you will find the New Market, the “Schiffbauergasse” and Potsdam’s harbour.
Here in Potsdam the world´s importants opening of an museum took place some weeks ago: Museum Barberini - http://museum-barberini.com/en/
Berlin with its hustle and bustel and famous attractions lures as well: for instance there are special museums telling you about the time of the Berlin wall.
Near our home offers a weekly market regional products (every Saturday morning ). Attractive play- and sportgrounds for all ages are nearby.
