Guided Story
Can you feel the whispers of history in the air? Look north to see the magnificent Berlin Palace, recently reconstructed. Imagine the carriages that once rolled across this square, the heart of Prussian power. Behind you, across the River Spree, stands the Neues Marstall, once the royal stables. Did you know this square was almost entirely cleared in the 1950s? Everything but the Neues Marstall was taken down. Let your gaze drift over the Spree to the Rathausbrücke – a bridge linking past and present, sharing tales of change and renewal.
