Marmorpalais Potsdam Marble Palace Potsdam Heiligen See UNESCO Weltkulturerbe
Im Potsdamer Neuen Garten, dicht am Ufer des Heiligen Sees, ließ Friedrich Wilhelm II. in den Jahren 1787–1793 das Marmorpalais errichten. Die Architekten Carl von Gontard und ab 1790 der Erbauer des Brandenburger Tors in Berlin, Carl Gotthard Langhans, schufen ein Schlossgebäude im Stil des Frühklassizismus.
Das „neue Haus“ war dem Privatleben des musisch begabten Königs vorbehalten. Der Neffe und Nachfolger des kinderlos gebliebenen Friedrich des Großen distanzierte sich mit diesem Neubau räumlich und architektonisch von seinem wenig geliebten Onkel, der zeit seines Lebens die Formen des Barock und Rokoko bevorzugte.
Das aus rotem Backstein errichtete Marmorpalais ist ein zweigeschossiges Gebäude mit quadratischem Grundriss. Auf das flache Dach des kubischen Baukörpers wurde ein Rundtempel gesetzt, der der schönen Aussicht diente. Als Blickfang wurde unter anderem das Schloss auf der Pfaueninsel errichtet. Über Freitreppen mit Rundgang, die vom Dach aus betreten wurden, gelangte man in das Innere des Belvedere. Putten, die einen Früchtekorb tragen, bilden den bekrönenden Abschluss. Durch Schmuck- und Gliederungselemente aus grauem und weißem schlesischen Marmor an der Fassade erhielt das Marmorpalais seinen Namen.
Über eine große Terrasse an der Seeseite des Schlosses mit seitlichen Freitreppen, die bis zum Wasser reichen, gelangte die Hofgesellschaft zu den Bootsanlegestellen. Der König unternahm gern ausgedehnte Bootsfahrten, beispielsweise zum Schloss Charlottenburg in Berlin.
Unterhalb der Terrasse liegt am Seeufer die ehemalige Schlossküche im Stil einer Tempelruine. Der halb versunkene Tempel wurde 1788–1790 von Langhans gestaltet. Ein unterirdischer Gang verband sie mit dem im Erdgeschoss liegenden Grottensaal, der in den Sommermonaten als Speisesaal genutzt wurde.
Im Jahr 1797, dem Todesjahr Friedrich Wilhelms II., wurde nach Plänen Michael Philipp Boumanns mit der Angliederung zweier eingeschossiger Seitenflügel begonnen, da dem König inzwischen das Treppensteigen schwerfiel. Die eingeschossigen, rechteckigen Erweiterungsbauten rechts und links der Vorderfront verband der Baumeister mit Galerien im Viertelkreis. Da wegen des Gesundheitszustand des Königs der schlesische Marmor nicht schnell genug beschafft werden konnte, wurde die Marmorkolonnade aus dem friderizianischen Park Sanssouci abgetragen und für die neuen Säulengänge umgearbeitet. Die imposante Gartenarchitektur von Georg Wenzeslaus von Knobelsdorff stand auf der Hauptallee zwischen Schloss Sanssouci und dem Neuen Palais.
Als der König im November 1797 starb, befanden sich die Anbauten noch im Rohbau. Sein Sohn und Nachfolger Friedrich Wilhelm III. ließ lediglich den Außenbau fertigstellen.
Hagen. Aus dem Nibelungenzyklus
Diesen Zustand fanden noch in den 1830er Jahren Prinz Wilhelm, der spätere Kaiser Wilhelm I., und seine Gemahlin Augusta vor, als sie für kurze Zeit bis zur Fertigstellung ihres Schlosses Babelsberg (1835–1849) das Marmorpalais bezogen. Sein Bruder, der Romantiker auf dem Thron, Friedrich Wilhelm IV., beauftragte den Architekten Ludwig Ferdinand Hesse, den Innenausbau der Seitenflügel zwischen 1843 und 1848 durchzuführen. Die äußeren Säulengänge wurden zum Abschluss der Arbeiten mit Fresken aus der Nibelungensage ausgemalt.
Die Seitenflügel des Schlosses wurden von den königlichen Sommergästen genutzt. Technische und sanitäre Erneuerungen erfuhr das Gebäude, als Prinz Wilhelm, der spätere Kaiser Wilhelm II., mit seiner Familie von 1881 bis zu seiner Thronbesteigung 1888 im Marmorpalais lebte.
Ab 1904 waren die letzten königlichen Bewohner Kronprinz Wilhelm, der älteste Sohn Kaiser Wilhelms II., und dessen Gemahlin Cecilie. 1917 erfolgte der Umzug in das nahegelegene, für sie im Neuen Garten erbaute Schloss Cecilienhof.
Nach dem Ende des Ersten Weltkriegs und der Monarchie kam das Marmorpalais nach der Vermögensauseinandersetzung zwischen dem preußischen Staat und dem Haus Hohenzollern 1926 in die Obhut der preußischen Schlösserverwaltung und wurde im August 1932 als Schlossmuseum eröffnet.
Die wiederhergestellte Innenausstattung des 18. und 19. Jahrhunderts im Hauptgebäude und im Südflügel und die Originalpläne zum Neuen Garten und Potsdamer Ansichten im Nordflügel erlitten großen Schaden, als Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs der Nordflügel von einer Brandbombe und der Hauptbau von einer Granate getroffen wurde. Weitere Verluste entstanden, als die Rote Armee nach 1946 ein Offizierkasino im Schloss unterhielt.

Built in the early classicist style, the Marble Palace or Marmorpalais in Potsdam is located on the banks of the Heiligen See in the New Garden. Commissioned by Frederick William II, the palace was built between 1787 and 1792. It was designed by Carl von Gonthard and Carl Gotthard Langhans, who later also designed the Brandenburg Gate. Built as a private residence for the king, the Marble Palace has stunning views of the surrounding gardens and the River Havel, as well as Peacock Island.
The two-storey building resembles a square and is built with red brick. Its flat roof is crowned by a round pavilion, which offers wonderful views of Potsdam and the surrounding countryside. A stairway and gallery are accessible from the roof into the belvedere.
The palace’s name is derived from the grey and white Silesian marble used for decorative and structural elements on the façade. A large terrace with lateral stairways leads directly down to the lake. Under the terrace is the palace kitchen, which was built by Langhans between 1788 and 1790 to resemble partially buried temple ruins. An underground passage connects the kitchen with an artificial grotto on the ground floor of the palace, which was used in the summer as a dining room.
Frederick William II started work on extensions to the Marble Palace prior to his death in 1797. After his death, his son Frederick William III continued to the work. Designed by Michael Philipp Boumanns, the extensions to the Marble Palace consisted of two rectangular, single-storey wings that were connected with galleries in a quadrant. The colonnades in the Sanssouci Palace in Potsdam were demolished in order to obtain the marble needed for the Arcades in the new wings.
Beginning in 1833, the Marble Palace served as residence for then Prince William, later Kaiser William I, and his wife Victoria Augusta. They lived in the palace until the Babelsberg Palace was completed in 1838. William’s brother Frederick William IV of Prussia commissioned Ludwig Ferdinand Hesse to design the interior of the Marble Palace’s two side wings. Work on the extensions was carried out from 1843 until 1848, when beautiful frescos in the arcades were added. Between 1881 and 1888, the future Kaiser William II lived in the Marble Palace. During this time, technical and sanitary facilities were updated in the buildings. Crown Prince Wilhelm and his wife Cecilie also lived in the palace from 1904 to 1917 before moving into the nearby Cecilienhof Palace.
In 1926, the Marble Palace was placed under the control of the Prussian Palace Department and was re-opened in 1932 as a museum. During World War II, the palace suffered serious damage when an incendiary bomb hit the north wing. A grenade also damaged the main building. After the war the building was used as an officers’ mess by Soviet troops and an Army Museum from 1961.

Potsdam, Germany - The Orangery Palace in Sansoucci Park
The Orangery Palace is one of several palaces in Sansoucci Park, in the city of Potsdam, Germany. It was commissioned by King Friedrich Wilhelm IV (Frederick William IV of Prussia) & work began in 1851 and completed in 1864. The so-called Versailles of Germany (Sansoucci Palace) is also located within the park, along with other similar structures such as the Neues Palais (New Palace) and the Chinese House, a garden pavilion.
There was much restoration work going on at the Orangery (also known as New Orangery on the Klausberg), so we were unable to go inside some of the structures, but the beautiful day lessened our disappointment with the grand outside views of the palace and the equally grand garden views.
When we first arrived we began our stroll at the historic (wind) mill and also ended our walk there before we continued on to see the other palaces in the park. The mill, known as Historische Mühle, in German was based on a legend known as The Miller of Sanssouci & was built in 1737. It was much fun to visit, as well.

Potsdam is a city on the border of Berlin, Germany. Sanssouci Palace was once the summer home of Frederick the Great, former King of Prussia. On the grounds of the complex, the Renaissance Orangery Palace overlooks Italian-style gardens with fountains. Historic Mill offers city views. English gardens surround neoclassical Charlottenhof Palace. The 19th-century Roman Baths were built in several architectural styles.
Potsdam, on the Havel River just 25km southwest of central Berlin, is the capital and crown jewel of the federal state of Brandenburg. Easily reached by S-Bahn, the former Prussian royal seat is the most popular day trip from Berlin, luring visitors with its splendid gardens and palaces, which garnered Unesco World Heritage status in 1990. Headlining the roll call of royal pads is Schloss Sanssouci, the private retreat of King Friedrich II (Frederick the Great), who was also the mastermind behind many of Potsdam's other fabulous parks and palaces. Miraculously, most survived WWII with nary a shrapnel wound. When the shooting stopped, the Allies chose Schloss Cecilienhof to host the Potsdam Conference of 1945 to lay the groundwork for Germany’s post-war fate.
Potsdam was the capital of Brandeburg and later Prussia, until it was replaced by Berlin. It was still used as a residence for the kings of Prussia when they wanted to get away from the big-city trouble (and potential rabble-rousers) in Berlin, and in a way it still has a similar function, as many well-to-do people from Berlin have either moved here or have bought a second residence here since reunification in 1990. Potsdam also serves as the capital of the Bundesland of Brandenburg, after an attempt to reunite Berlin and Brandenburg in a single Bundesland failed in the early 90s.
For most of its recent history Potsdam has not been accessible from the former West Berlin. The last station before the former GDR was Wannsee. Many of the buildings that are visible today have been reconstructed after the bombings of the Second World War and after the lax care of the East German Government. The city as we see it today is the work of five architects (After the Great Elector said: Das ganze Eyland muß ein Paradies werden [The whole island must become a paradise]): Peter Joseph Lenné, Georg Wenzeslaus von Knobelsdorff, Carl Phillipp Christian von Gontard, Karl Friedrich Schinkel and Friedrich Ludwig Persius, and of course King Frederick the Great and Emperor Wilhelm II.
Most attractions in the city are UNESCO World Heritage sites: Sanssouci Park and the Crown estate of Bornstedt, The New Garden (including the Pfingstberg and the Russian colony of Alxandrowka), Babelsberg Park and Sacrow Park. The suburb Babelsberg is home to the Media City Babelsberg (Medienstadt Babelsberg), an area joining movie and media people together. The film studio Babelsberg, the Konrad Wolf Film University of Babelsberg and other schools, radio and TV stations, a museum and an archive, an amusement park and much more is located there.

Places to see in ( Potsdam - Germany ) Schloss Cecilienhof
Cecilienhof Palace is a palace in Potsdam, Brandenburg, Germany built from 1914 to 1917 in the layout of an English Tudor manor house. Cecilienhof was the last palace built by the House of Hohenzollern that ruled the Kingdom of Prussia and the German Empire until the end of World War I. It is famous for having been the location of the Potsdam Conference in 1945, in which the leaders of the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom and the United States made important decisions affecting the shape of post World War II Europe and Asia. Cecilienhof has been part of the Palaces and Parks of Potsdam and Berlin UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1990.
Cecilienhof is located in the northern part of the large Neuer Garten park, close to the shore of the Jungfernsee lake. The park was laid out from 1787 at the behest of King Frederick William II of Prussia, modelled on the Wörlitz Park in Anhalt-Dessau. Frederick William II also had the Marmorpalais (Marble Palace) built within the Neuer Garten, the first Brandenburg palace in the Neoclassical style erected according to plans designed by Carl von Gontard and Carl Gotthard Langhans, which was finished in 1793. Other structures within the park close to Schloss Cecilienhof include an orangery, an artificial grotto (Muschelgrotte (de)), the Gothic Library, and the Dairy in the New Garden, also constructed for King Frederick William II.
The park was largely redesigned as an English landscape garden according to plans by Peter Joseph Lenné from 1816 onwards, with lines of sight to nearby Pfaueninsel, Glienicke Palace, Babelsberg Palace, and the Sacrow Church. Since the Marmorpalais, which had been the traditional Potsdam residence of the Hohenzollern crown prince, had become inadequate for current tastes, Emperor Wilhelm II ordered the establishment of a fund for constructing a new palace at Potsdam for his oldest son, Crown Prince Wilhelm (William) and his wife, Duchess Cecilie of Mecklenburg-Schwerin on 19 December 1912. After their marriage in 1905, Wilhelm and Cecilie had previously lived at the Marmorpalais for most of the year and at the Berlin Kronprinzenpalais in winter. In 1911, the Crown Prince had been appointed commander of the Prussian 1. Leibhusaren-Regiment and moved to Danzig-Langfuhr.
Crown Prince Wilhelm was so impressed with cottage and tudor style homes like Bidston Court in Birkenhead (England) that Cecilienhof was inspired by it. Also, due to Duchess Cecilie of Mecklenburg-Schwerin's family ties, German tudor-styled Gelbensande Manor near Rostock in Mecklenburg-Schwerin was an inspiration. The palace was designed in such a way as to be inhabitable for most of the year. Its low structure and multiple courts conceal the fact that it boasts a total of 176 rooms. Besides the large Ehrenhof in the centre, which was used only for the arrival and departure of the Crown Prince and his wife, there is a smaller garden court, the Prinzengarten, and three other courts around which the various wings of the building are arranged.
Today, parts of Cecilienhof are still used as a museum and as a hotel. In 1990 it became part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site called Palaces and Parks of Potsdam and Berlin. The private rooms were opened to the public in 1995 after comprehensive restoration work. Queen Elizabeth II visited Cecilienhof on 3 November 2004. On 30 May 2007, the palace was used for a summit by the G8 foreign ministers. In 2011, Schloss Cecilienhof was awarded the European Heritage Label. The redesigned permanent exhibition on the Potsdam Conference was reopened in April 2012.

Places to see in ( Potsdam - Germany ) Neuer Garten
The New Garden in Potsdam is a park of 102.5 hectares located southwest of Berlin, Germany, in northern Potsdam and bordering on the lakes Heiliger See and Jungfernsee. Starting in 1787, Frederick William II of Prussia (1744-1797) arranged to have a new garden laid out on this site, and it came to be known by this rather prosaic name. The New Garden is one of the ensembles comprising the UNESCO World Heritage Site Palaces and Parks of Potsdam and Berlin, a status awarded in 1990.
When he was still crown prince, Frederick William II procured property situated on lake Heiliger See, supplementing it later by the purchase of adjoining fruit gardens and vineyards. One year after his accession to the throne work began on creating a park which in the spirit of the times was supposed to reflect contemporary garden architecture, setting it apart from the then out of fashion baroque ornamental and kitchen grounds of Frederick the Great's nearby Sanssouci.
On visits to the small principality of Anhalt-Dessau the king had become acquainted with the Dessau-Wörlitz Garden Realm (now a UNESCO World Heritage Site). This park was the earliest and largest English landscape park on the continent and corresponded to the king’s ideal of a garden. The Wörlitz gardener Johann August Eyserbeck was engaged to realize this concept also in Potsdam.
In contrast to the extensive English landscape gardens of the 19th century, whose primary elements were trees, meadows and water, the English garden of the 18th century was characterized by relatively discrete regions decorated with small architectural elements. The landscape character was emphasized in a design intended to reproduce nature. The trees and plants were not to be shaped and trimmed, but left to grow naturally. Rural life was also rediscovered in the process. Browsing cows were part of the scene in the New Garden, with their milk being processed to butter and cheese in a dairy at the northwest corner of the park (it is now a lakeshore restaurant). Summer houses which existed on the property were incorporated in the planning and have survived to the present. They are designated by their color: the Brown, Red or Green House.
Much later in 1816 during the reign of Frederick William III, Peter Joseph Lenné, at the time still a journeyman gardener apprentice, arrived in Potsdam and was given the task of redesigning the neglected and overgrown garden. While retaining some of the existing garden units he created an English landscape garden with extensive open spaces, lawns and wide pathways, and especially lines of sight to the Pfaueninsel, Glienicke, Babelsberg and Sacrow.
At the same time a new garden was being laid out in Potsdam, Frederick William II had a new palace erected between 1787 and 1792. The Marmorpalais (Marble Palace) was a work of early Classicism following plans by Carl von Gontard and Carl Gotthard Langhans, the latter primarily responsible for the interior work. This building brought to Berlin-Brandenburg a style already long common in the rest of Europe and initiated a transition to a new artistic epoch.
