Schlossplatz

Fodor's Review:

One of the biggest cultural debates in Berlin in recent years swirled around whether to rebuild a portion of the 1,200-room Hohenzollern palace that stood here from the 15th century (which was destroyed in WW II and then blown up by the East German government in 1950) or not, thereby saving the country and city millions of euros. The construction of a modern museum, art, and library complex is now certain. The project is called Humboldt-Forum, and it will integrate some historic palace elements, including a rebuilt palace cupola. Construction will begin in the near future, and the project is slated for completion in 2013. Within the square, a temporary art project, the White Cube Berlin,presents international, contemporary art until 2010 in a cube building that seems to float.
