Schönhausen Palace, Baroque palace in Niederschönhausen, Germany
The three-winged Schönhausen Palace stands along the Panke river, featuring gardens and architectural elements designed by Johann Arnold Nering and Johann Friedrich Eosander von Göthe.
Built between 1691 and 1693 for Frederick I of Prussia, the palace served as the official residence for GDR president Wilhelm Pieck from 1949 to 1960.
The palace museum displays collections that document both the Prussian royal heritage and the German Democratic Republic period through exhibitions and preserved interiors.
Visitors can access the palace through guided tours that present the state rooms, while the surrounding park remains open for public exploration throughout the year.
During the Seven Years War in 1760, Russian troops caused substantial damage to the palace, leading to its subsequent reconstruction in the Rococo style.

Berlin presents a different side away from the usual landmarks. This selection features lesser-known places where history blends with modern creativity. The former Tempelhof Airport transformed into a public park, Teufelsberg built on war debris with its old American listening station, or the Boros Collection housed in a Second World War bunker, reflect the city's turbulent past. The Spreepark, an abandoned amusement park from the GDR era, and the Monster Cabinet with its mechanical installations offer unusual experiences. These sites tell Berlin in a different way. From the Spy Museum detailing espionage during the Cold War to Badeschiff, a swimming pool built on the Spree, to the radio tower Funkturm with views of the German capital, each location has its unique character. Local markets, underground galleries, and stands like Curry 36, a Berlin institution since 1980, complete this exploration of a city with many faces, where each neighborhood retains its own features.
