Kirchsteigfeld is a district (Stadtteil) of the city of Potsdam, Germany. As of December 2024, it had 5,051 inhabitants. The suburb, located in the southeasternmost part of Potsdam, is one of the largest and most ambitious housing projects realized in the new federal states after German reunification. The new quarter was developed between 1993 and 1998 and is considered a prominent example of Postmodern architecture. Led by the architectural firm Krier-Kohl (Rob Krier and Christoph Kohl) and with the participation of 25 other architects, one of the largest construction projects in East Germany at the time created a new urban district for 4,900 residents.
