This spot has seen a lot, the most beautiful being the meadow before construction work.
The palace itself is a matter of debate, but it has already become worth seeing.

The new Berlin Palace, built from 2013 to 2020 based on a design by the Italian architect Franco Stella, can be considered an extremely successful partial reconstruction of the original Berlin Palace, which was destroyed in 1950. Above all, the three baroque exterior facades on the south, west, and north sides, designed by Stuhlemmer Architekten, recreate key urban spatial situations and restore central Berlin to its original beauty.
I'm very excited when it's finished and I can take the first tour there.

The city palace with the Humboldt Forum is a very special building. Three sides of the building show the original castle facade, as it was reconstructed true to the original, and the modern side of the Spree.
Where the center of Berlin is today, on July 31, 1443, Elector Friedrich II laid the foundation stone for the palace in the previously insignificant double city of Berlin-Cölln. In 1451 the elector moved into the new residential palace of the Hohenzollern family.
After the end of the Thirty Years' War, Elector Friedrich Wilhelm had the damaged palace rebuilt and baroque conversions carried out
During the Weimar Republic, the city palace housed the palace museum and other institutions. The castle was almost completely destroyed in a bomb attack during the Second World War in 1945. On the orders of Walter Ulbricht, the magnificent building in the center of Berlin was blown up on September 7, 1950, despite massive protests by the population.
Erich Honecker had the Palace of the Republic built on the square in 1971. After the reunification, "Erichs lamp shop", as it was called in the population, was closed due to high levels of asbestos.
After a long public discussion, it was decided to build the new city palace as the Humboldt Forum. The foundation stone was laid on June 12, 2013. In addition, the aim of the reconstruction was to restore the image of the historic center of Berlin with the historic facade.

Rightly, it is a highly controversial building, both architecturally and in terms of its use. It is questionable whether this was necessary and whether it was helpful (with all the asbestos problems) for the still unfinished idea of reunification to simply demolish 'Erich's Lamp Palace' as well.

The Berlin City Palace was opened and, with its charm, fits perfectly into Berlin's old town. A visit to the roof terrace (with prior registration) is worthwhile. You can leave your luggage in the castle for free.

A successful new building in a historic style. The City Palace, with its "Humboldt Forum," is a very special building, unique in its form in Berlin. While the original palace facades have been faithfully reconstructed on three sides of the building and in the courtyard, the Spree side has a modern design. The interior of the palace, with its Humboldt Forum, is also modern. Various cultural and scientific institutions are represented here.

The inner courtyard of the newly built Berlin City Palace (Humboldt Forum) offers an impressive mix of historical façade and modern architecture. Here, tradition meets contemporary design, creating a unique space. The spacious area and inviting ambience make the inner courtyard a peaceful retreat in the middle of the city.
