 Charlottenburg palace by Gerrem
The palace was expanded after Frederick became the first Prussian King, Friedrich I.
The Swedish master Johann Eosander von Göthe supervised the expansion, which in-cluded the addition of the copula and the construction of the orangery wing.
The east wing was added between 1740 and 1746 by Frederick the Great (King Friedrich II).
Severely damaged by allied bombing in 1943, the palace was meticulously reconstructed after the war. The splendid interiors like the Eichengallerie, a 1713 gallery lined with oil paintings and the Porzellan-kabinett, with a fine display of Chinese and Japanese porcelain are remarkably well restored. Also noteworthy are the Schlosskapelle - the palace's small chapel, the Weisser Saal, the rococo style Goldene Galerie and the Galerie der Romantik, with a collection of works of German Romantics.

 me + the Palace by jenniferchin
What I remembered was the majestic buildings, carefully well-maintained gardens, ducks swimming in the ponds, a lovely huge fountain right in the front of the Palace, quiet walks among the tall trees with nice clean benches for you to sit down and have your sandwiches (for me, at least !!) .. loads of photography opportunities :-))

 Charlottenburg by magor65
It's a fine example of Baroque style. Its creamy colour together with the green of the dome make it look light, graceful and feminine.
In the front courtyard you can see a proud statue of the great Elector on a horse. Leave a Comment Phone: 320 91-1Directions: Bus X9, 109, 145, 210

From the excellent English-language audio guide we learned that this palace was originally built by Elector Frederick III as a summer residence for his wife Sophie Charlotte in 1699. It was later expanded into a royal palace after Frederick became the first Prussian King, Friedrich I.
The palace was severely damaged by allied bombing in 1943, but was carefully reconstructed after the war.
Behind the palace is a large park which was originally a formal French Baroque garden. In the 18th and 19th centuries it was gradually transformed into an English-style landscape garden. After the Second World War a small part right behind the palace was again laid out in the original French style. Leave a Comment

 Charlottenburg - gardens by magor65
The park behind the palace was laid out in the French style. It's a perfect place for a stroll on a warm sunny day. Beautiful flowers, singing birds and few people - this is what it was like on a May day. At the end of the park there's a teahouse with another collection of porcelain.

 Schloß Charlottenburg,
Berlin, Germany by der_geograf
When I was first researching for my trip to Berlin, I knew I wanted to see it badly, and I wasn't disappointed. It was built by King Friedrich II of Prussia for his wife Charlotte. It is filled with a grand art collection, and provides a glimpse into the life of Friedrich II and Charlotte, their fellow Prussian nobility, and other German history.
Admission price was "reasonable," and you must leave any bags you have with an attendant (and we had no problems with anything being stolen). NO PHOTOS are allowed inside, but you can snap as many as you want of the beautiful park that surrounds the castle. (A good place to make good use of your jogging shoes, too.)
Enjoy it! Leave a Comment

Charlottenburg Palace is now the largest palace in the Berlin Area. Construction work started in 1695 for a new summer residence for Sophie Charlotte who was the wife of Friedrich III, Elector of Brandenburg. After his wife died in 1705 Friedrich named the palace and surrounding estate Charlottenburg in memory of Sophie Charlotte. Over the years the palace which started with only the cental section was gradually expanded with a frontage of 505 metres and the extensive gardens laid out. During WW2 the palace was severely damaged but has now been fully restored to its former glory. Leave a Comment

Schloss Charlottenberg, situated very near to Brandenburg gate is the largest palace in Berlin. The palace was initially named as Lietzenberg. This was consturucted by the famous architect Arnold Nering for Sophie Charlotte, queen of King Friedrich I, the first king of Prussia.
After Friedrich's coronation in 1701, architect Eosander Von Gothe was entrusted the task of expansion and renovation of the palace as a summer retreat for the royal couple. The queen was a great philosopher and mathematician and lot of learned great men including Lebnitz were her friends. She took lot of interest in renovation and upkeep of this palace. After Queen Sophie's death in 1705 at a young age, the king named the palace after the queen as "Schloss Charlottenberg". The gardens of the palace, an English landscape model was completed later.
The exhibits here include magnificient paintings, artifacts, sculptors, statues etc. It has a room surfaced with decorative amber called "Bernsteinzimmer" described as the eighth wonder of the world.
This palace can be described as a smaller version of Versailles Palace, but equally beautiful.

 If it ain't Baroque,
don't fix it by yooperprof
Even if you aren't a big fan of North German Baroque Architecture, Schloss Charlottenburg is well worth a visit for the beautiful grounds the chateau is located on. The park is exceptionally well maintained, open gratis to the public, and is a favorite haunt of Berliners for jogging, strolling, and lotus-eating. Check out my Charlottenburg Travelogue for my own meanderings through the palace grounds. Leave a Comment Phone: 320 91-1Directions: Bus X9, 109, 145, 210

 Main entrance by hojasdehierba
Charlottenburg Schloss (Schloss significa palacio) es el palacio más grande de Berlin. Fue construido como residencia de verano para Sophie Charlotte, la esposa del Elector Friedrich III en 1695-1699, pero varias alas y extensiones fueron añadidas a lo largo del siglo XVIII. El palacio fue muy danhado en la Segunda Guerra Mundial y reconstruido en los cincuenta. Su esplendoroso estilo barroco es se nota especialmente en la Gran Galeria de Roble, un gran salon con tallados impresionantes y en la Habitacion de la Porcelana, con su valiosa colección de porcelanas china y japonesa. Los parques del palacio son hermosos y extensos, de hecho, bastante relajantes, porque el palacio esta situado en una zona no muy concurrida de la ciudad, que era Berlin Occidental cuando la ciudad estaba aun dividida. El precio de la entrada es de 7 euros para los adultos. Cierra los lunes y el horario de apertura es de 9,00 a 17,00, excepto los sabados y domingos, que abre a las 10,00.
