Information

Schlossstraße, which begins at »Schloss Charlottenburg (Charlottenburg Palace) is a fine boulevard lined with splendid 19th-century villas and several important museums. The street leads westwards, and was designed as a view corridor to the palace.
At the beginning of the Schlossstraße, we find two corner buildings built between 1851 and 1859 to house the soldiers of the King's garde du corps. Designed by August Stüler, these identical twin edifices correspond perfectly to the proportions of the palace façade. With their cupola roofs supported by columns, they possess a pleasing and graceful elegance. Since 1996, the Stüler building has housed the Berggruen Collection, with works by Picasso, Cézanne, van Gogh, Braque, Giacometti and Paul Klee. The adjoining Bröhan Museum holds an exquisite collection of Jugendstil and Art Deco artefacts.
By the middle of the 19th century, many splendid villas had been built here, and the Schlossstraße already looked pretty much as it does today. The neo-classical villa in the Schlossstraße 67 (built in 1873) is one of many houses well worth a closer look.
The harmonious character of the Schlossstraße has much to do with the English-style front gardens and the green promenade that runs down the middle of the street; here, the local people meet to play boules. New buildings designed by the architects Inken and Hinrich Baller are to be found at the corner of Otto-Grünberg-Weg and Hebbel-/ Zillestraße. With their delicate and expressive lattices and balconies, these houses blend smoothly into the outstanding architectural milieu of the Schlossstraße.
