The Edict of Potsdam was a proclamation issued by Fredrich Wilhelm, the elector of Brandenburg on 29 October 1685, as a response to the revocation of the Edict of Nantes by the Edict of Fontainebleau. The Edict of Potsdam gave French Huguenots safe passage to Berlin, offered them tax-free status for ten years, and allowed them to hold French-language church services.
