Palais du Rhin / Rhine Palace, city tour
The Palais du Rhin: Former imperial palace and manifesto of political power
A special feature of Strasbourg is the former German imperial palace, which was built by the Hohenzollerns as a political manifesto for the permanent annexation of the state of Alsace-Lorraine to the German Empire.
In the plan for the expansion of the city adopted in 1880, the former Imperial Square (now Place de la République) is dominated to the west by the eclectic architecture of the Imperial Palace, a masterpiece of measures in the middle of a garden with many trees. The palace, commissioned by Wilhelm I of Hohenzollern, is the work of the Prussian architect Hermann Eggert. It was built between 1884 and 1889 and inaugurated by his grandson Wilhelm II. It is more a testament to political power than an imperial residence; the three gentlemen of Hohenzollern only lived here occasionally.

One of the central squares in Strasbourg and one of the most beautiful. Flanked by grand historic buildings, the center is home to a large circular park with mature trees, lawns, colorful flowerbeds, and plenty of seating.
