Prussian Residences: Royal Palaces and Gardens in Berlin and Brandenburg

by Hartmut Dorgerloh, M. Scherf

This stunning album is much more than the usual tourist picture book. Illustrated with astonishing pictures, this study depicts the residences and gardens of the Prussian princes, who started out as simple landlords and ended up as the Emperors of the German Empire. Beginning in 1486 and continuing to the present day, this volume documents the 24 most important Prussian buildings of more than five centuries, describing the historical and social development of each building.
