So, we´re at the Schönhausen palace here and today we´re gonna travel through time from the rococo era to the GDR era.

This palace has been here for more than three hundred and fifty years, so, it has a very long, very eventful, very interesting story and and I think the main periods were the rococo time when the Prussian queen Elisabeth Christina lived here and later on in the twentieth century it
was used by the government of the GDR.

I think these are the most important periods of this palace. Special thing in, ehm, Schönhausen palace is that every room tells its own story. You walk through the different centuries and you walk through the different decades. That looks very modern.

Yeah, it´s from the nineteen sixties, I can show you the ladies bedroom, if you want...
The bed does not exist anymore. I`m sorry but uh... the bathroom for example. Very interesting and it's also still the original one, also the color, really, really.

The last two ladies who slept here, who used this room, was Raisa Gorbachev in 1989. She was here with her husband, uh... to celebrate the fortieth anniversary of the GDR and some days later the wall came down.

So she was one of the last ones to stay here and the last one was queen Beatrice.

Since 2009 we´re open for the public. You can visit this palace, we offer guided tours and so on, we have a lot of events like concerts, ehm, lectures and things like that, yeah.

Any weddings? Weddings as well, right, right, yes I forgot, yes, yeah.

Three times a year we offer weddings here, yes. It sounds very good here, because there is a lot of echo. The acoustic is nice!
