Prinzessinnenpalais
Prinzessinnenpalais stands in the heart of Berlin as a former Prussian royal residence with a Rococo façade. Friedrich Wilhelm Diterichs designed the building in 1733, before Heinrich Gentz expanded it in Neoclassical style between 1810 and 1811.
World War II heavily damaged the palace, but Richard Paulick rebuilt it during the early 1960s. His work preserved the historic exterior while placing a modernist interior behind it, creating a visible meeting point between different architectural periods. Since 2018, Deutsche Bank’s art collection has occupied the building, with more than 300 contemporary works displayed alongside cultural exhibitions and events.
The palace’s story remains clear in its contrast: ornate Rococo origins outside, Bauhaus-influenced reconstruction within, and contemporary art throughout.
