Friedrichsfelde Palace
château in Berlin, Germany
Friedrichsfelde Palace (German: Schloss Friedrichsfelde) is a Neoclassical-style building in the centre of the Tierpark Berlin in Berlin-Friedrichsfelde. It was property of various noble Prussians and occasionally owned by Prussian Kings. The last owners were the Treskow family, whose landmarked family burial ground is located in the surrounding park. Currently, the palace offers exhibitions about its history and is a place for classical concerts and cultural events.
History
Formerly constructed c. 1695 by architect Johann Arnold Nering as Rosenfelde Palace, the building received its current name in 1699 since Frederick I of Prussia came into possession of the palace. In 1719, architect Martin Heinrich Böhme expanded the dimensions of the building on behalf of its new owner, Margrave Albert Frederick of Brandenburg-Schwedt, a half-brother of the late king. Thus, Friedrichsfelde Palace was equipped with new baroque stairs and the size of the facade was extended. In 1762, the building became property of Prince Augustus Ferdinand of Prussia, the youngest brother of Frederick the Great. He intended to have the palace completely altered and enlarged.
However, he discarded his plans for Friedrichsfelde Palace and instead used them for the construction of Bellevue Palace in the Tiergarten of Berlin.

Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as château in Berlin, Germany. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 16, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q883381. VIAF identifies the subject as 153327662. Authority coordinates are 52.504, 13.523. 3 of 4 selected statements include explicit references; 2 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1695, 1699, 1719 and 1762.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
