Potsdam
Potsdam () is the capital and, with around 183,000 inhabitants, largest city of the German state of Brandenburg. It is part of the Berlin/Brandenburg Metropolitan Region. Potsdam sits on the River Havel, a tributary of the Elbe, downstream of Berlin, and lies embedded in a hilly morainic landscape dotted with many lakes, around 20 of which are located within Potsdam's city limits. It lies some southwest of Berlin's city centre. The name of the city and of many of its boroughs are of Slavic origin. Potsdam was a residence of the Prussian kings and the German Kaiser until 1918. Its planning embodied ideas of the Age of Enlightenment: through a careful balance of architecture and landscape, Potsdam was intended as "a picturesque, pastoral dream" which would remind its residents of their relationship with nature and reason. The city, which is over 1000 years old, is widely known for its palaces, its lakes, and its overall historical and cultural significance. Landmarks include ...

Archiv Für Molluskenkunde
''Archiv für Molluskenkunde'' is a peer-reviewed scientific journal published by the Senckenberg Nature Research Society, covering research in malacology. Coverage ''Archiv für Molluskenkunde'' publishes original research on all aspects of molluscan biodiversity, mostly on systematics, taxonomy, phylogeny and morphology, also accepting research on the ecology and biogeography of all groups of molluscs, both living and fossil (Cenozoic only). Articles are published in English. History ''Archiv für Molluskenkunde'' derives from the ''Nachrichtsblatt der Deutschen Malakozoologischen Gesellschaft'' 'Newsletter of the German Malacological Society'' first published in 1868. Hence it is the oldest malacological journal still publishing. The name changed in 1921, but the numbering of volumes runs continuously between the titles. The parent society transferred ownership of the journal to the Senckenberg Nature Research Society in 1936 in order to avoid government (Nazi) interference. ...
