What a stupid waste of time and resources, considering rebuilding one of Schlüter´s messes... :no:

Are there any other messes by him?

Are there any other messes by him?

There WERE, but not all of them needed the help of history to fall down

A nice -and big- palace, but not a masterpiece.

I support the reconstruction of the Stadtschloss (The budget of the reconstruction doesn't touch my wallet :D :D)

Come on now, Kampflamm. You ought to be ashamed of yourself because you ought to have done better than this. Without some background information this Berliner Stadtschloss thread of yours is pure fraud and totally useless. You can't count on the congnoscenti to fill in the blanks.

The Stadtschloss? 10. :okay: This shameless, misleading thread of yours? Zero. :down:

I ain't votin'. :bash:

As a Warsaw citizen I understand this nostalgy very well. After reconstruction it will be a great building. 9.5/10

It IS a masterpiece, even if it any longer does not exist.... Only the rebuilding of this magnificent castle can finish the german reunification in my opinion =) SO JUST DO IT!!! I would spend a couple of my money for this great thing O)

Yes, Rebuild this!!! 10/10

They will finally do it! yaaay! I thought it was a great idea, the commie one sucked! :puke:

It was good work for sure, especially the schlueterhof, but not very inventive (besides the schluterhof maybe).
It's really a pity that they won't restore some of the great interiors.

9.5/10! Is better than Versailles and Buckingham Palace. Yes rebuilt it please.

10/10! Such a shame the communists totally destroyed what was left of it after the war to build that Palace of the Republic! Rebuild it!

Could be useful: Short description of the Berliner Stadtschloss (from Wikipedia)

The Berliner Stadtschloss (English: Berlin City Palace), was a royal palace in the centre of Berlin, capital of Germany. It was the principal residence of the Kings in and of Prussia from 1701 and of the German Emperors from 1871. Following the fall of the German monarchy in 1918 it became a museum. It was severely damaged by Allied bombing in World War II and was demolished by the German Democratic Republic authorities in 1950. Following the reunification of Germany, it is proposed to rebuild the Stadtschloss.

And about the reconstruction:
Since 1991 many Germans have advocated the rebuilding of the Stadtschloss. Some have supported a complete rebuilding, while others have suggested that the exterior facades be rebuilt, with a modern building behind them. Lobby groups such as the Society for the Berliner Schloss (Gesellschaft Berliner Schloss) and the Promotional Association for the Berliner Schloss (Förderverein Berliner Schloss) were formed, and in 2001 these came together as the Stadtschloss Berlin Initiative. These groups have prepared detailed plans for rebuilding the Stadtschloss and for its use after reconstruction. They argue that the rebuilding of the Stadtschloss would restore the unity and integrity of the historical precinct of central Berlin, which includes the Berliner Dom, the Lustgarten and the museums of Museum Island.

There are also many Germans who oppose this proposal: some advocate the retention of the Palast der Republik on the grounds that it is itself of historical significance, while others argue that the area should become a public park. Opponents of the project argue that a new building would be a pastiche of former architectural styles, would be an unwelcome symbol of Germany’s imperial past, and would be unacceptably expensive for no definite economic benefit. They also argue that it would be impossible to reconstruct accurately the interior of the building, since neither detailed plans nor the necessary craft skills are available. In view of these considerations, most importantly the likely immense cost, successive German governments have declined to commit themselves to the project. In 2002 and 2003 cross-party resolutions of the Bundestag supported at least a partial rebuilding of the Stadtschloss, but no definite decision had been made by 2006.

For a fantaboulous castle, Berlin is losing this ugly crap:banana:

The demolition of the Palace of the Republic is nearly completed. Should we be sad now? 'Cause we lost "a part of (socialism) history"? I don't think so. :)

Fantastique! 10

but not nice...
Other european (german among them) palaces of the period are better designed: Belvedere, Caserta, Winter Palace, Blenheim, Castle Howard, Madrid¨s royal palace; Lisbon; Wurzburg; Schonnbrun; Tsarkoe Seloe:::
It is almost atrocious if you compare with them:
