Potsdamer Schokoladenmarkt

05 – 21 December 2025/Alter Markt Potsdam Johann Friedrich Miethe from Halle, who had been running a confectionery and gingerbread bakery at Charlottenstraße 46 since 1820, bought the property in 1830 and had a chocolate factory built. The factory itself was located in the courtyard of the property, directly on the banks of the Havel. This made it possible to supply raw materials cheaply and conveniently. The buildings on the street side were used as flats and as an office with sales facilities. Miethe produced his chocolate in this factory with the help of a steam engine. This technical innovation helped Miethe to mass produce his chocolate, which was very difficult to make at the time and was therefore only produced in relatively small quantities. However, Miethe had developed a process that made machine production of the best quality possible. Soon everyone was talking about ‘steamed chocolate’. Building on this wonderful historical model, we want to give the topic of chocolate a grand and worthy setting on the historic ‘Old Market’ adjacent to the old …

CSD 2025

26 July 2025 CSD Berlin | Berlin Pride 2025 ‘Never be silent again’This year’s motto of the Berlin CSD sends a clear signal for a loud, colourful and determined queer community. It is a reminder that queer people have been silenced time and again throughout history – and that this must never happen again. Especially in times when right-wing and extremist forces are trying to push back hard-won rights, it is more important than ever to remain visible and stand up for diversity, acceptance and equality. ‘Never be silent again’ means actively campaigning for a democratic and inclusive society and taking a clear stance against all forms of discrimination – regardless of political, religious or cultural background.
