Discover more about Mittelpromenade der Schlossstraße am Schloss Charlottenburg

The Mittelpromenade der Schlossstraße provides a grand approach to Schloss Charlottenburg, Berlin's largest and most magnificent palace. Originally known as the 'Breite Strasse' (Broad Street), the avenue was established around 1700 as a visual axis leading to the palace. In 1841, King Friedrich Wilhelm IV ordered the transformation of the street by adding a wide central promenade adorned with lawns and flowers. Today, the Mittelpromenade offers a serene escape from the bustling city, inviting visitors to stroll through beautifully manicured gardens while enjoying stunning views of the palace. The promenade serves as a gateway to the rich history of the area, encouraging tourists to explore the opulent interiors and expansive gardens of Schloss Charlottenburg. Charlottenburg Palace itself has evolved through the centuries. It began in 1695 as Lietzenburg, a modest summer residence for Sophie Charlotte, the wife of Elector Frederick III. After Frederick became the first Prussian King in 1701, the palace was expanded. The palace was renamed Charlottenburg in honor of Sophie Charlotte after her death in 1705. Over the years, the palace saw additions like the New Wing by Georg Wenzeslaus von Knobelsdorff and the Belvedere teahouse designed by Carl Gotthard Langhans. Severely damaged during World War II, the palace has been reconstructed to showcase the grandeur of the Hohenzollern dynasty.
