Palais Redern

Palais Redern was a city palace located at Pariser Platz in Berlin, featuring a distinctive rusticated facade and flat roof design. The building contained a rectangular garden and expansive interior rooms designed for formal entertaining and official purposes.

Architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel designed and built the structure between 1829 and 1833 for Count Friedrich Wilhelm von Redern, director of the Royal Theater. The building remained until 1906, when it was demolished to make way for the Hotel Adlon.

The palace served as a gathering place for concerts and artistic meetings where Berlin's creative circles regularly assembled. Its halls became central stages for society's most important social and cultural events.

The palace no longer exists at its original location in central Berlin, but its former site remains easy to explore and visit. Visitors can understand the history of the area through information about the building and how this part of the city has changed.

The building drew architectural inspiration from Florence's Palazzo Pitti and broke with Berlin's tradition of mansard roofs. This Italian influence gave the palace a distinctive character that clearly set it apart from other contemporary Berlin palaces.
