A place for unforgettable moments Celebrate at the restaurant Zur historischen Mühle Potsdam

Whether it's a wedding, birthday, or anniversary, the historic mill offers the ideal setting for your celebration. Amidst the idyllic surroundings of Sanssouci Palace in Potsdam, you can expect versatile spaces, first-class service, and culinary delights. Our salons and the light-filled Palm House accommodate small and large parties. When the weather is nice, the terrace and beer garden invite you to linger. We will work with you to plan your event – individually tailored and with attention to detail.

Plenty of space for your celebration A place for personal occasions

Our rooms are versatile and clearly structured. The four salons are particularly well-suited for intimate celebrations with 16 to 30 guests. Those looking for a larger space can host up to 145 people in the Palm House. In summer, we open the doors to the terrace or the beer garden – beneath mature trees, overlooking the park. If you'd prefer the house to be yours, you can book it exclusively for the day, from a small champagne reception to an evening meal. We'll discuss all the details directly with you: menu preferences, seating plans, times, floral arrangements, and technical equipment. Our cuisine is seasonal, and our staff are well-coordinated and understand that every celebration is a little different.

When things get factual Room for conferences

Although our focus is clearly on private celebrations, we also cater to smaller conferences, workshops, or meetings – especially when good cuisine, a peaceful environment, and a stylish setting are required. Technical equipment, catering, and support are all provided. So, if you need to think about work from time to time, we'll also provide a suitable venue – without it looking like a conference hotel.
