So, we´re at the Schönhausen palace here and today we´re gonna travel
through time from the rococo era to
the GDR era.
This palace has been here for more than
three hundred and fifty years, so, it has a very
long, very eventful, very interesting
story and
and i think the main periods were, were the rococo time when
the Prussian queen Elisabeth Christine lived here
and later on in the twentieth century it was used by the government of the GDR.
I think these are the most
important periods of this palace. Special thing in, ehm,
Schönhausen palace is that every room tells its own story.
You walk through the different
centuries and you walk through the different decades. That looks very modern.
Yeah, it´s from the nineteen sixties,
I can show you the ladies bedroom, if you want...
The bed does not exist anymore. I`m sorry but uh... the bathroom for example.
Very interesting and it's also still the original one,
also the color,
really, really. The last two
ladies who
slept here
who used this room was Raisa Gorbachev
in nineteen eighty nine.
She was here with her husband
uh... to celebrate the fortieth uh... anniversary of the GDR
and some days later the wall came down.
So she was one of the last ones to stay here and the
last one was queen Beatrice. Since 2009 we´re open for
the public. You can
visit this palace,
we offer guided tours and so on, we have a lot of events like concerts.
ehm
lectures
and things like this yeah. Any weddings?
Weddings as well, right, right, yes I forgot, yes, yeah.
Three times a year we offer weddings here, yes.
It sounds very good here, because there is a lot of echo.
The acoustic is
nice!
