Location: Berlin; Schlossbrücke bridge (built in 1824), with Berliner Stadtschloss (Berlin City Palace) in the background. Built in 1442 as a residence for the Hohenzollern family, it became the residence of the King of Prussia in 1702, and later the residence of the German emperor in 1871. In 1945, it was heavily damaged during an air raid, further destructions followed in 1949, when Soviet soldiers destroyed statues and windows while producing a film. In 1950, the East German government decided to demolish the building. The GDR later built their Palace of the Republic, which was completed in 1976, and also demolished in 2008. With building works beginning in 2013, the reconstruction of the historic Stadtschloss will be completed in 2019. |
