Map detail from 1910The sailor station Kongsnæs (Norwegian: Konge "King", næs "headland") in Potsdam, Schwanenallee 7, is a former landing stage for the vessels of the Prussian royal family, which were used for pleasure trips on the Havel. The property is located on Jungfernsee, in the north of the Berlin suburb, between the New Garden and the Glienicke Bridge. In the years 1891 to 1895 commissioned by architect Holm Hansen Munthe, a building ensemble in the Norwegian Dragon style was built on behalf of Wilhelm II, with a reception pavilion, the so-called "Vente Hall", boat sheds and three residential buildings for the operating personnel.After the First World War Kongsnæs remained in the possession of the House of Hohenzollern and was leased to the "Imperial Yacht Club" (KYC) in Kiel. At the end of the Second World War, the reception hall, the long shed for the imperial steam yacht "Alexandria" and a free-standing archway burned down. Only the hall foundations, the bastion-like embankment wall and the residential buildings standing inland were preserved from the historical, today listed building.

Only the houses were still used for residential purposes.After the turn of 1990, the "Förderverein Kongsnæs e. V. "for the reconstruction and renovation of existing buildings. At the beginning of 2009, the Berlin jewelery dealer Michael Linckersdorff acquired the property from the city of Potsdam with the aim of refurbishing the three surviving buildings, rebuilding the Kongsnæs lobby, restoring the harbor, and largely preserving the public accessibility of the site.
