You're standing at Jagdschloss Glienicke, a hunting lodge in Berlin's Wannsee district, just by the Glienicke Bridge. Have a look around. Babelsberg is close by, and so is Glienicke Palace. This lodge is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Palaces and Parks of Potsdam and Berlin. That's because the building fits so beautifully into the landscape, and because it shows just how powerful Prussia once was.

What you can see at Jagdschloss Glienicke

The hunting lodge has neo-Baroque façades, and a tower rises above the central section. Among the old façades is something modern: a glass bay on the 2 lower floors, designed by architect Max Taut. Try to spot it as you walk past the building. The lodge is surrounded by an English landscape garden. You can stroll among the trees and view the building from different sides. The palace has been carefully restored since 2005.

Hunting Lodge Glienicke's History

The story began small. From 1682, the ruler of Brandenburg had a modest hunting lodge built here, with stables alongside. Charles Philippe Dieussart was the architect. His successor was crowned in 1701 and immediately had the palace lavishly remodelled in the baroque style. After that, the building took on a new role again and again. A later king turned it into a military hospital. In 1763, it was given as a gift to a wallpaper and tapestry maker, who started a wallpaper factory there. In 1832, it became an orphanage. In 1859, the palace was bought by a royal prince. He had it restored for his son and laid out the garden around it. Around 1890, his grandson had the central section extended, and that was when the tower was added. Later, the film company UFA used the palace as a storehouse. After the war, it first housed a cadet school, and then a youth hostel. In 1958, filming still took place there with Romy Schneider. In 2003, a fire broke out in the south wing due to faulty wiring. There was no fire alarm and the water pipes were clogged with silt, so the damage was extensive.
