Potsdam's French reformed church invites you to take part in its service. The "Geneva Psaltery" is a piece of joint European heritage. The church itself is a small architectural jewel. Knobelsdorff and Schinkel designed a clear and inviting house of worship for the protestant refugees from France who had found a second home in Potsdam. The French psalm singings of the "Geneva Psaltery" were translated into many languages and still sung in reformed churches all over the world. This great hymnbook from the age of the Reformation has influenced the development of church singing - even across confessional boundaries - like hardly any other.
In cooperation with the French reformed parish Potsdam.
