If the flag is flying on the roof\u2026
an unmistakable sign at Bellevue Palace \u2026
the Federal President is in the Berlin city area. Whether he is then in his official residence on the outskirts of Berlin or in his offices in the palace can only be guessed by taking a walk along the edge of the Gro\u00dfer Tiergarten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Ferdinand of Prussia, the youngest brother of Frederick II, had the palace built in 1785\/86. The master builder Boumann had the task of incorporating the existing buildings into his planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A three-winged complex was created. The central building was elongated and had two and a half stories, the two side wings were two-story.
The palace stands directly on the banks of the Spree. If one looked out of the windows to the west at that time, one could see far over the park and the Spree and even spot the dome of Charlottenburg Palace. Because of this beautiful view, the palace was named Bellevue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ferdinand of Prussia used the Early Classicist palace as a princely pleasure palace and royal country residence until his death in 1813.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
