Werder (Havel)

The Werderaner Wachtelberg is a 6.2 hectares (15 acres) vineyard in the town of Werder (Havel) in Brandenburg. As the northernmost outpost of the Saale-Unstrut wine region, it is the most northern registered location for QbA quality wine in Germany.

A Tiene (plural: Tienen), sometimes also called Tine or Obsttiene (Obst is German for fruit), was a special container for transporting wine and fruit. These were used until shortly after the First World War, mostly in the Brandenburg city of Werder in northern Germany. Normally the wooden tubs were carried on people's backs to small boats and shipped on the Havel River to market stalls in Berlin.

Großer Plessower See is a German lake in the town of Werder, in Brandenburg. At an elevation of 24 m, its surface area is 3.22 km², its maximum length 5,11 km and, at its widest, is 1325 m.

The Kommando Landstreitkräfte (short: Kdo LaSK or Kommando LaSK) was the Army staff — and simultaneously the Army command of the National People's Army (NPA) Land Forces of the former GDR.

Wublitz is a river of Brandenburg, Germany. It flows into the Großer Zernsee, which is drained by the Havel, near Werder (Havel).

Golm is a locality (Ortsteil) of Potsdam, the capital of the German state of Brandenburg. The former municipality was incorporated in 2003. Its name is derived from Western Slavic chulm, meaning "hill", and refers to one of the nearby elevations, either Reiherberg (68 m (223 ft) a.s.l.) near the centre of the original village or Ehrenpfortenberg (57 m (187 ft) a.s.l.) east of it.

Schwielowsee (German pronunciation: [ˈʃviːloːˌzeː] (listen)) is a lake in the state of Brandenburg, Germany. It is situated to the south and west of the city of Potsdam. The villages of Caputh, Ferch and Geltow, on the banks of the lake, form the municipality of Schwielowsee. The lake is some 5.4 kilometres (3.4 mi) long, with a maximum width of 2.0 kilometres (1.2 mi) and a surface area is 7.86 square kilometres (3.03 sq mi). It lies at an elevation of 29.3 metres (96 ft) above sea level, and has a maximum depth of 9.1 metres (30 ft). The navigable River Havel flows through the eastern end of the lake, entering it at Caputh via a short channel from the Templiner See, and exiting to the north. The lake is also navigable to its south-western end at Ferch. Navigation is administered as part of the Untere Havel–Wasserstraße.

Golm transmitter or Sender Golm was a medium wave broadcasting facility on the area of a former Reichsarbeitsdienst officer candidate school at Kuhforter Damm in Golm near Potsdam. It entered service in 1948 as the central broadcast transmitter for Brandenburg state. Until 1979 it used a wooden lattice tower of 98 m (322 ft) height with a horizontal wooden cross on its top as its antenna support. The ends of the beams of this cross were connected with wires. From the centre of each of these horizontal wires, a vertical wire was run down to the antenna tuner which was located in a building under the feet of the tower construction. The antenna of Golm transmitter consisted therefore of 4 T-antennas connected in parallel, forming an omnidirectional antenna with a natural wavelength of 528 m. The transmitter was built from second-hand parts obtained by dismantling a site in Reichenbach, Upper Lusatia. Test transmissions were undertaken on 16 April 1948, and from 1 May 1948 the facility operated on 564 kHz.The wooden tower of Golm transmitter was not a new construction. It was built from parts of two wooden masts originally erected in 1936 at Rehmate, the location of Zehlendorf transmitter, as supports for shortwave antennas. These were (together with a third mast) the only antenna towers on this site not dismantled for war reparations following World War II. As materials for structural engineering were not easily available in the Soviet occupation zone, it was decided to dismantle this structure and re-erect it as an antenna tower at Golm, although wooden radio towers was no longer state-of-the-art. After the demolition of the wooden radio tower of Wiederau transmitter in 1953, the tower of Golm transmitter remained the tallest wooden structure in the GDR until 1979. It was a well-known landmark of the Potsdam area. On October 25, 1979 it was demolished with explosives because of structural deterioration. It was replaced by two 51 m (167 ft) tall guyed steel lattice mast radiators. One of these served as the main antenna, the other as backup. The facility was operated by Deutsche Post. Initially, the programmes of Landessender Potsdam was broadcast, later those of Radio Wolga, Berliner Rundfunk, Berliner Welle, and Radio DDR 1 and Radio DDR 2. In 1991 the programme of Berliner Rundfunk was broadcast on 693 kHz. Transmissions ceased on 20 August 1992, and dismantlement was ordered on 20 September 1993. The guyed masts together with the other facilities were dismantled in 1993/1994. The area is now covered in vegetation, only parts of the foundations of one mast remain.

The University Library of Potsdam (Universitätsbibliothek Potsdam) is the largest academic library in the German state of Brandenburg. It serves the academic community of the University of Potsdam as well as interested readers from other universities and non-university research institutes in the Potsdam and Berlin area. The library is also open to private users from the region Berlin-Brandenburg with a research or study interest.

Golm station is a railway station in the district of Golm in the city of Potsdam, Brandenburg, Germany.

The Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces (German: Max-Planck-Institut für Kolloid- und Grenzflächenforschung) is located in Potsdam-Golm Science Park in Golm, Potsdam, Germany. It was founded in 1990 as a successor of the Institute for Physical Chemistry and for Organic Chemistry, both in Berlin-Adlershof, and for Polymer Chemistry in Teltow. In 1999, it transferred to newly constructed extension facilities in Golm. It is one of 80 institutes in the Max Planck Society (Max-Planck-Gesellschaft).
