158 p. : ill. ; photo. ; col. ; plans ; portrait ; 31 cm. The reconstructed Berliner Schloss in the heart of the German capital is both a monument of Baroque architecture and a vital new cultural building in the city. The art history, architecture and sculpture of the palace?s masterful façades by Andreas Schlüter are brought to life here in words and pictures.00The Berliner Schloss marks the reinstatement of the point of reference for the urban plan of the historical centre of the capital: through the Baroque masterpiece by Andreas Schlüter the boulevard Unter den Linden and the historic buildings of the Lustgarten acquire once more a meaningful interconnection. Most of the authors are involved in this major project. They explain with the help of the impressive photographs by Leo Seidel the fascinating construction process, the imagery of the Baroque sandstone façade, the technology and the craftsmanship behind its reconstruction as well as the architectural concept of the building. 25 Hans-Dieter Hegner PREFACE -- 27 Bernhard Wolter INTRODUCTION -- 28 SITE PLAN -- 30 IN THE SAXON QUARRIES -- 33 Peter Stephan STAGED ARCHITECTURE THE BAROQUE FACADES OF THE BERLIN PALACE -- 76 THE EOSANDER PORTAL -- 83 Bernd Wolfgang Lindemann UNDER THE BANNER OF THE BAROQUE ON THE ICONOGRAPHY OF THE BERLIN PALACE -- 116 MOUNTING ONTO THE FACADES -- 119 Franco Stella with Peter Westermann THE RECONSTRUCTED FACADES OF THE BERLIN PALACE SIGNIFICANCE AND CONSTRUCTION -- 132 WORKING WITH SANDSTONE -- 135 Kathrin Lange and Bertold Just RESTORE - RECONSTRUCT -REPLICATE ON THE RECREATION OF THE SCULPTURAL FACADE DECORATION -- 142 THE BERLIN PALACE MASONRY WORKSHOP -- 158 IMAGE CREDITS, COLOPHON -- photographs by Leo Seidel ; authors, Hans-Dieter Hegner [and six others] ; translation from the German, Gérard A.
