The Gerichtslaube is a historic building in the Babelsberg district of Potsdam, which was built in the 13th century as an extension to the Old Town Hall in Berlin. Centuries later, as a result of the construction of the new town hall in 1871, the building took on a life of its own, whereby the original building was moved to the park of Babelsberg and later reshaped there. In the rebuilt Berlin Nikolaiviertel there is a copy made of modern materials, which is used as a restaurant and bears the name Zur Gerichtslaube.

Babelsberg Park is a 114 hectare park in the northeast of the city of Potsdam, bordering on the Tiefen See lake on the River Havel. The park was first designed by the landscape artist Peter Joseph Lenné and, after him, by Prince Hermann von Pückler-Muskau and Karl Friedrich Schinkel, by order of the then-prince William I and his wife, Augusta. Located on a hill sloping down to the lake, the park and castle are part of the Palaces and Parks of Potsdam and Berlin, which were inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List because of their unique architecture and testimony to the development of landscape design.

The Nuthepark is a near-natural landscape park in Potsdam. The park stretches along the east bank of the Havel south and north of the mouth of the Nuthe, starting in the south at Potsdam Central Station to Babelsberg Park. It was newly created between 1998 and 2001 in the course of preparations for the Federal Garden Show 2001 on a fallow site. To connect the two parts, the Nuthe is spanned by a pedestrian and cyclist bridge shortly before the mouth. The green spaces newly created in 2020 by the Investment Bank of the State of Brandenburg are to merge with the areas of the Nuthepark in the future.
