history

It was built in 1682–93 by Charles Philippe Dieussart for the Great Elector Friedrich Wilhelm of Brandenburg. Under Frederick I , it was expanded and embellished in the French Baroque style in 1701. The soldier king Friedrich Wilhelm I had the Glienicke hunting lodge set up as a hospital for the guards regiment. Frederick the Great donated it in 1763 to the oilcloth and wallpaper manufacturer Isaac Levin Joel, who produced oilcloth wallpapers there. In 1827 the hunting lodge came into the hands of Wilhelm von Türk , who turned it into an orphanage in 1832. In 1859, Prince Karl of Prussia had the palace rebuilt in Baroque style for his son Friedrich Karl by the court architect Ferdinand von Arnim . In 1889 Albert Geyer extended the central building and added a tower.

After 1919 the palace complex began to decline. The palace with the park came under the Nazi state commissioner and later mayor Julius Lippert (journalist) in 1934 through extortion from the Jewish entrepreneur Ignatz Nacher . Lippert and Dresdner Bank had worked together to rob the entrepreneur, who was a major shareholder in the Engelhardt brewery , of his company. The bank owned the park with its castles, Lippert the extorted shares. They then conducted an exchange. Lippert made the park available to the general public and took the castle himself as a residence befitting his status. Before that, he had the castle renovated at state expense.

After the Second World War it was used as a youth hostel . Before that, however, part of the Ufa fund had been moved to the castle. It was also used as a backdrop for post-war films, such as girls in uniform . In this film, the outside staircase of the palace facing the park can still be seen. In addition, it was the location of several families who had to vacate their apartments in Babelsberg because of the Potsdam conference . Ernst Reuter later campaigned for the repair of the hunting lodge. With the construction of the wall, the palace park was separated from its surrounding area and was only accessible from Königstraße .

In 1963/64 the hunting lodge was converted into a youth meeting place under the direction of Max Taut . Because the previous access road and the main entrance were now in the restricted area Klein Glienicke , he relocated the entrance area with a bay-like protruding and glazed two-storey annex facing the garden. From 1964 to 2003 the castle was used as a meeting place for young people. In April 1997 the founding conference of the Berlin Institute for Critical Theory took place there. The Berlin-Brandenburg Institute for Social Education has been using the Glienicke hunting lodge since 2003. In addition, free capacities and accommodation are also offered to other educational institutions for conferences, seminars and workshops. On March 31, 2003, the south wing of the palace burned down. The fire was triggered by a cable fire. Since the castle had no fire alarms and the water pressure from the ring system of hydrants was not high enough, a lot of damage resulted, which made extensive restoration work necessary. The wooden coffered ceilings and sandstone elements were stored.

Reconstruction in line with listed buildings began in November 2005. The topping-out ceremony was celebrated on August 23, 2006. The building owner was the Senate Department for Education, Science and Research. The cost of rebuilding the roof was around 400,000 euros. In August 2008 the Tautschen kitchen building was demolished. After the necessary organizational measures (financial resources, tenders, etc.) had been completed, the first renovation measures of the main building and the house on the water began in April 2009. The completion of the construction work and the reopening were originally planned for April 2011. However, the construction work could only be resumed in September 2011. The extent to which the glass front installed by Max Taut should be retained or rebuilt to the previous neo-baroque facade was highly controversial . This led to further delays. The dilapidated fabric of the Tautschen oriel had to be renewed in large parts. The renovation work was completed at the end of October 2012. A total of 14 million euros were spent, the bay window cost 230,000 euros.

The Berlin Wall Trail runs past the palace park and can be varied a little through the park. Most of the area around the Glienicke hunting lodge is a public park that is accessible to the public at any time from Klein Glienicke or Wannsee. With the swing gates along the way an attempt is made to make it more difficult for the wild boars to enter the park.

The castle is part of the UNESCO - World Heritage palaces and gardens of Potsdam and Berlin .
