Detail InformationEdit

Schloss Bellevue has been the official Residence of the President of Germany since 1994. The palace in the central Tiergarten district of Berlin is situated on the northern edge of the Grosser Tiergarten park, on the banks of the Spree river, near the Berlin Victory Column. Its name (“beautiful view” in French) derives from the scenic prospect over the river course.
Designed by architect Michael Philipp Boumann, Schloss Bellevue was erected in 1786 as a summer residence for Prince Augustus Ferdinand of Prussia, Herrenmeister (“Master of the Knights”) of the Johanniterorden (“Order of Saint John”) and younger brother of King Frederick II of Prussia, on the site of a manor house which Georg Wenzeslaus von Knobelsdorff had built in 1743. Bellevue was the first Neoclassical building in Germany, characterized by its Corinthian pilasters, with wings on either SIDE (“Ladies’ wing” and “[River] Spree wing”). The upper floor holds a ballroom designed by Carl Gotthard Langhans. The palace is surrounded by a park covering about 20 hectares.
In 1843, King Frederick William IV of Prussia acquired Bellevue, which in 1865 became the residence of his niece Princess Alexandrine after her marriage with William of Mecklenburg-Schwerin. It served the royal and Imperial princes of the Hohenzollern dynasty until the German Revolution of 1918–19.
