Conference Dinner

The Conference Dinner will take place at the „Krongut Bornstedt“ (Bornstedt Crown Estate) which is a unique ensemble of Prussian history. It is a testimony to the passion Prussian kings had for all Italian things. In 1867 King Frederic William IV is reputed to have said “I now have my Italian village – at long last!” after, he had made Bornstedt into what it is today: a piece of Italy under the Prussian sky. Since 2002, after several years of extensive restoration, the „Krongut Bornstedt“ shines anew in its original radiance. We invite you to experience and enjoy Prussian history. At the end of an interesting conference day a bus is waiting to take you to „Krongut Bornstedt“ or you may enjoy a 20 minutes walk through the beautiful landscape of Potsdam to get there. After a special welcome you may start with a glass of home-brewed beer called “Bornstedt Buffalo” which is brewed since 1689 only at the „Krongut Bornstedt“ and which is one tradition of Prussian handicrafts performed here.

You are welcome to enjoy the more culinary delights among friends and colleagues in the historical scenery.

Prize per ticket : 58.00 EUR (incl. VAT)
