Due to its close proximity to the inner-German border, the entire strip of riverbank below Babelsberg Palace became an inaccessible border area in 1961. A guided tour from the palace forecourt via the Rose Steps to the Steam Engine House explains the former borderline using historical images. Visitors learn how the former summer residence of Kaiser Wilhelm I was used in GDR times and what traces of the time of German division are still preserved in the park.
