In 2020, the reconstruction of Berlin Palace was completed. The building had been damaged by bombing during the Second World War and demolished in the German Democratic Republic in 1950. Francesco Stella was the architect who designed the new building according to basic stereometry of the destroyed castle, shaping the eastern facade in a modern solution, and the remaining three as facsimiles, thus reviving the appearance of the lost building. The Palace of the Republic, which was the seat of East German parliament, was built on the same location in 1976, and was dismantled between 2006 and 2008. After the fall of Berlin Wall, an entrepreneur named Wilhelm von Boddien founded the Berlin City Palace Sponsoring Association and initiated the construction of a coulisse around the Palace of the Republic, wishing to evoke the Baroque look of the demolished castle. The new building, owned by the Foundation for the Humboldt Forum in the Berlin Palace, according to a resolution of the Bundestag from 2002, is a center dedicated to non-European cultures. In juxtaposition with the high European art of the Museum Island, it encompasses the idea of making the entire Spree river island a home of science and art attributed to King Friedrich Wilhelm IV. The decision to reconstruct the Palace provoked polemics representing various views on the justification for erection of a building that, in its form, recreates the appearance of a landmark that is associated with Prussian colonialism. Constructing the chapters around these three basic questions: of authenticity, neocolonialism, and revisionism; this paper analyzes key texts that have critically addressed the topic, by researching the cultural and political context within which this reconstruction was possible.
