About

Since the beginning of 1994, the Bellevue Palace in Berlin has been the official residence of the Federal President. Located in the midst of the Tiergarten, right on the banks of the Spree and close to the Victory Column, the Bundestag and the Brandenburg Gate, Bellevue palace is situated in the centre of Berlin. The palace was commissioned by the younger brother of Friedrich II, Ferdinand of Prussia, built and was finished in 1786. His plan is a two-storey, three-winged structure consisting of a long main building and two wings (on the left the “women's wing” and on the right the “Spree wing") designed in the early classical style. The palace’s interior was repeatedly transformed in the course of many conversions. From the perspective of history, Bellevue palace also had a turbulent past: It was once the summer residence for the Prince and then in the Great War it served as the headquarters of the German Supreme Command and, later on, it was even divided up into residential flats. poststellebpra [dot] bund [dot] de Visit of the Bellevue Palace is only possible at the open day From the summer residence of the Prince to the seat of the Federal President The Victory Column is one of the best known symbols of Berlin.
