Berlin City Palace Wooden windows Induline ZW-504i Berlin Germany Humboldt Forum

For 500 years, the palace was Berlin’s most distinctive building on the Spree island, sitting at the centre of the historic tree-lined boulevard up to Brandenburg Gate. In 1945, the building burnt to the ground following bomb attacks, with the ruins being demolished in 1950 to make way for a parade ground. Reconstruction of the building has been ongoing since 2013. With its historic façade, the new building is a close imitation of the original on three of its sides. The building is scheduled to reopen in 2021.

Short description
The new design for the historic façade was intended to replicate the appearance of the building as it stood in the 19th century. This also included 386 box-type windows, some with a height of over 6 metres, as well as 9 portal façades including 18 wooden portal doors. The wooden elements were given a white coating that would offer long-term protection against UV rays and fungal attack.
