Coming in 2012: The Berliner Stadtschloss (Berlin City Castle)

In 2007, the Bundestag (German parliament) made a definitive decision concerning the reconstruction of the old Berlin City Castle, which was demolished by the East German government (SED) in 1950. Plans call for three façades of the palace to be rebuilt, while the interior will be modern. Work on the Humboldtforum, as the new palace will be called, will begin in 2010. Off-site stonemasonry has already commenced.
