Abstract

The establishment of a Russian village in Potsdam at the beginning of the 19th cen-tury is a peculiarity that can be perceived as a symbol of political vagaries and changeovers in the aftermath of Napoleonâs conquest of Prussia. Alexandrovka func-tioned as a showpiece for the Stein-Hardenberg reforms in terms of planed village and new agricultural policies. Property rights for land tillers, new cultivation tech-nologies and especially orchards played an important role. The surprising fact that this Russian village in Prussia has survived until today, has been due to the percep-tion of its historical value. Alexandrovka has been preserved as an attractive cultural heritage sight and included in Potsdamâs World Heritage Site since 1999. Alexan-drovkaâs setting might be the only entirely preserved surviving example of a so-called Russian artificial village. Its role model was the now extinct Glasovo.
