Grundsteinlegung Palast der Republik Berlin

 Germany > Berlin

---

The laying of the first stone of the Berlin Palace of the Republic, erected on the site of the demolished Berlin city palace in 1950. By an “irony of historical fate”, the Palace of the Republic will be swept away from the face of Berlin in 2008. And in its place a new building is already rising (it does not repeat the original!) Of the once destroyed Berlin city palace. "Palace cycle", in a word.
