Well, there is a bit missing in this story. The City Palace was actually demolished during the GDR time and replaced by the "Palast der Republik" (the palace of the republic). This Palace of the Republic (which did not really look like a palace very much) was then torn down in 2008 to make place for a reconstruction of the pre-GDR building. I think it is a bit sad that Germany does not leave more GDR-era buildings standing. They might not always be the most visually appealing buildings (just like the GDR was not a very appealing state in many regards), but they still represent an important part of Germanys history. |
