Palaces and Parks of Potsdam and Berlin is a World Heritage inscription covering 150 heritage buildings built between 1730 and 1916, and 500 hectares of parks, located in the two aforementioned cities in Germany. The ensemble, including the parks and palaces along the banks of the River Havel and Lake Glienicke, represents a unique example of landscape design for the rulers of the Prussian state.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
