The building
The building is a partial reconstruction of the royal palace of the Hohenzollern family, who ruled the kingdom of Prussia and, from 1871 to 1918, reigned over Germany as emperors. The original palace, founded in 1443, was badly damaged by fire and bombs in the Second World War. In 1950, the communist East German government demolished what remained. In 1976, it opened the new Palace of the Republic on the site as the home of East Germany’s parliament and a venue for political and cultural events. After German reunification, the authorities began stripping the asbestos-riddled building and, by 2002, it was a skeleton. That year, the German parliament decided to rebuild the Prussian royal palace. In 2006, parliament approved the demolition of the remains of the Palace of the Republic.
