In 2020, the summit of the three victorious powers of the Second World War – the United States,
Great Britain and the Soviet Union – will have its 75th anniversary. At the round table in the
Cecilienhof Palace, the heads of state Truman, Churchill (Attlee starting on 28/07/1945) and
Stalin deliberated about the future of Germany and a political and territorial reorganization of
Europe and the world. The negotiations began on 17 July and ended on 2 August 1945 with the
“Communiqué on the Three Power Conference of Berlin”, which would later enter into history as
the “Potsdam Agreement”.
On the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the Potsdam Conference, the Prussian Palaces and
Gardens Foundation Berlin-Brandenburg (SPSG) is planning a special exhibition, from 1 May to 1
November 2020, at the site of the conference in the Cecilienhof Palace.
Experience those fateful days of the summer of 1945 at this authentic location on a multi-medial journey through time.
The after-effects of the conference, palpable to this very day, are explained clearly with the aid of international loans, diary entries, historical film and photo material, and documents dating from the time.
