P343 - Germany - Charlottenburg Palace in Berlin

Charlottenburg Palace, Berlin, Germamy

Charlottenburg Palace (German: Schloss Charlottenburg) is the largest palace in Berlin and the only building in the city dating back to the time of the Hohenzollern family. It is located in the Charlottenburg district of the Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf area.
The palace was built at the end of the 17th century and was greatly expanded during the 18th century. It includes much exotic internal decoration in baroque and rococo styles. A large formal garden surrounded by woodland was constructed behind the palace. In the grounds of the palace various buildings were erected, including a belvedere, a mausoleum, a theatre and a pavilion. During the Second World War the palace was badly damaged but has since been reconstructed. The palace, its gardens and the buildings in the grounds are major visitor attractions.

夏洛滕堡宮（德文：Schloss Charlottenburg）是德國柏林現存最大的宮殿。它座落於夏洛特堡和威爾默斯多夫大區下轄的夏洛特堡區。
在第二次世界大戰中，夏洛滕堡宮受損嚴重。1945年以後重建，改為一座博物館（或用作觀光用途）。過去的劇院是史前和早期歷史博物館，小橘園用作餐廳。
其花園是一個大型娛樂公園，服務於附近人煙稀少的夏洛滕堡老城。不過，有計劃建立一個門票的公園。
從2004年到2006年初，當Schloss Bellevue裝修期間，夏洛滕堡宮用作德國總統府。
