Ephraim-Palais
Ephraim-Palais stands in Berlin as a Rococo building with ornate details and elegant curves across its façade. Its accessible interior houses a museum devoted to Berlin’s history and culture. Veitel Heine Ephraim commissioned architect Friedrich Wilhelm Dieterichs to create the original building in 1766. The restored façade preserves the character of eighteenth-century Berlin architecture.
The building was destroyed in 1936 during the Nazi regime, while many façade elements survived in East Germany. Reconstruction began in 1985. Exhibitions from Stadtmuseum Berlin explore the city’s development through cultural themes and original artefacts. Berlin’s architectural history and museum displays meet behind one carefully reassembled façade.
