Description

The reconstructed Berliner Schloss in the heart of the German capital is both a monument of Baroque architecture and a vital new cultural building in the city. The art history, architecture and sculpture of the palace's masterful façades by Andreas Schlüter are brought to life here in words and pictures.

The Reconstruction of Berlin Palace marks the reinstatement of the point of reference for the urban plan of the historical centre of the capital: through the Baroque masterpiece by Andreas Schlüter, the boulevard Unter den Linden and the historic buildings of the Lustgarten acquire once more a meaningful interconnection. Most of the authors are involved in this major project. They explain, with the help of the impressive photographs by Leo Seidel, the fascinating construction process, the imagery of the Baroque sandstone façade, the technology and craftsmanship behind its reconstruction as well as the architectural concept of the building.
