Wrangel Palace
Palais Wrangel is a name for the property at Pariser Platz 3 in the Berlin district of Mitte in the district of the same name . The poet Achim von Arnim was born in this house on January 26, 1781 . The area is built up with ministries and embassies.
Naming and history
The name goes back to General Friedrich von Wrangel (1784–1877), who lived here as governor of Berlin from 1849 until his death .
A development on the property can be traced back to 1737.
From 1735 to 1737 a palace was built for the court marshal Johann Georg von Geuder called Rabenstein († 1774) and his wife Sophie Charlotte von der Groeben. After several changes of ownership, the Prussian War Minister Friedrich Wilhelm von Rohdich had owned the property since August 20, 1792. He bequeathed it to the Rohdich legacy fund founded for this purpose . Independent of the activity of the residents in the property, charitable purposes have been supported from the rental income since then . The administration of the fund lay with the military . In 1878, under Gregor von Stralendorff , Rosemann & Jacob, a larger building called the new Rohdich Legate House was built on the property . Downstairs there is a was the officers' mess of the casino company , in the main floor living Anton Radziwill .
In the 1930s, the Pariser Platz 3 building housed the offices of Robert Bosch GmbH , which operated here as Junkers Flugzeug- und Motorenwerke . From March 17, 1940 to May 8, 1945 the house was used by the Reich Ministry for Armaments and Ammunition . At the end of the Second World War it was largely destroyed and all the neighboring ruins were cleared .
After the fall of the wall, the area could be rebuilt. The Canadian - American architect Frank Gehry claims that the DZ Bank building on Pariser Platz is : “The best thing I've ever done” (“It's the best thing I've ever done”).
