Naturkundemuseum
Naturkundemuseum stands in Potsdam’s historic Ständehaus der Zauche, a listed building designed by Georg Christian Unger. Four floors present Brandenburg’s wildlife through regional displays. You see indigenous mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, insects, and fish arranged around their natural habitats. A basement aquarium holds native freshwater fish species.
The building’s cultural reuse places local natural history inside Potsdam’s architectural heritage. A female brown bear watches the foyer. A prepared wolf and elk accompany her nearby, while “In Human Footprints: Biological Invasions” examines the effects of introduced species worldwide. Lifts and ramps provide access, and guided tours explore Berlin and Brandenburg’s indigenous wildlife.
