Friedrichstadt is also known as the “Holländerstädtchen” in Germany, meaning the “Dutch Town”. In historical times, Friedrich III offered a group of Dutch citzizens a safe haven to practice their religion and soon afterwards, other religious groups settled here. Friedrichstadt became known as the “Town of Tolerence”. The Dutch influence is obvious in the style of architechture found in the buildings here and the city is surrounded by water canals, resembling those of Holland. The town has a very quaint and romantic flair to it and the residents of Friedrichstadt put much effort in decorating the fronts of their homes with rose bushes and other flowers to add to the charm of the town.
