berlin-14.jpg - The Kronenprinzpalais (Crown Princes’ Palace) next to the Staatsoper, located along the Unter den Linden overlooking Bebelplatz and the adjacent Prinzessinenpalais (Crown Princesses’ Palace) are impressive Town Palaces, the former residences of Hohenzollern royal family members. The Princes’ Palace was converted from a townhouse by Philip Gerlach in 1732, to become a town palace for Crown Prince Friedrich, the future Friedrich the Great (1740-1786). It remained a royal residence until 1918 when the Hohenzollern dynasty came to an end. The Crown Princesses’ Palace – today’s Opern Café immediately to the right of the Staatsoper had been built for the daughters of Friedrich Wilhelm III (1797-1840) in 1811 with an extension, the attractive covered bridge, connecting it to the Princes’ Palace. The present building is the 1969 reconstruction by Richard Paulick.
