About
Nestled in the historic Nauener Tor square of Potsdam, Café Heider stands as a living testament to more than a century of culinary tradition. From its founding in 1878 it has served as the city’s “living room,” offering a charming blend of classic German fare—most famously its Wiener Schnitzel and freshly baked pastries—alongside a generous breakfast‑brunch buffet and an elegant terrace perfect for leisurely afternoons. With heritage décor, ample seating, and modern coffee specialties, the café invites families, couples, and history lovers to savor both the flavors and the tales of Potsdam.
