In 2015, the Friends of Berlin Palace (F\u00f6rderverein Berliner Schloss e.V.) agreed with the German parliament, the Bundestag, to finance to the sum of \u20ac105 million the additional cost of the historic palace fa\u00e7ades compared to a modern fa\u00e7ade.\u00a0This figure is very comparable with the highly successfully fundraising total of around \u20ac110 million for the reconstruction of the Frauenkirche in Dresden and is thus achievable.<\/p>\n

The donated funds are needed for the reconstruction of the palace’s three external Baroque fa\u00e7ades, the Schl\u00fcter Courtyard’s three Baroque fa\u00e7ades, the palace’s round south-eastern corner, the historic dome and portals II, III and IV around the former Great Palace Courtyard. We had previously agreed to raise \u20ac80 million. We are now confident that with your help we can raise this new figure of \u20ac105 million by the end of 2019, when the Berlin Palace – Humboldt Forum is due to open. We were emboldened in this respect by the wonderful generosity shown to date by friends of the palace, which resulted in the funds raised from 2012 to 2014 almost tripling and in 2014 alone reaching over \u20ac15 million.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The extra \u20ac25 million now allotted compared to the previous commitment is needed for funding the historic dome and the now added three inner portals:<\/p>\n

Portal III is beneath the dome in the main foyer, Portal II and Portal IV on the front of Stella’s Palace Forum, the north-south passage that he has designed in the new Berlin Palace – Humboldt Forum. Stella, from Vicenza in Italy, calls this passage his “Uffizi of Berlin”. In relation to this, please see the pictures of these additionally allotted reconstructions under ‘The New Berlin Palace – 2019 images’ on this website.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]In order to achieve this result, the Friends of Berlin Palace society is organising a wide-ranging programme of fundraising. The sum of \u20ac105 million covers all the costs of the historically accurate reconstruction of the fa\u00e7ade elements. This includes the planning and the artistic production of the decorative and fa\u00e7ade elements by the traditional methods of craftsmanship used 300 years ago, the time of the palace’s extension under Andreas Schl\u00fcter and Johann Eosander, known as von G\u00f6the.<\/p>\n

Our fundraising receipts, less modest society costs, are passed on regularly to the Berlin Palace – Humboldt Forum Foundation, the body commissioning the building work.\u00a0Since summer 2015, the donations meter has been providing information on the amount still needed to reach \u20ac105 million in the form of a regular countdown. Green shows the result so far, i.e. all donations already made available to the Foundation, the society’s already collected bank and cash assets still to be passed on and, of course, also the contributions in kind that we passed on in relation to the building plans and 1:1 models for the reconstruction of the palace fa\u00e7ades from the period prior to 2011.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The plan is to update the donations meter, as a rule, at the end of January, April, July and October to show the level at the end of each preceding quarter. It is always updated only after the accounts for the preceding reporting quarter have been closed and approved.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There is at present no reason at all to feel self-satisfied. There is simply still too much money to be raised. While the entire funding of work on the reconstruction of the fa\u00e7ades is now already secured from donations up until the end of 2015, the rapid, ahead-of-schedule, progress being made on completing the historic fa\u00e7ades means that the need for money is growing rapidly as well.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We are bearers of the DZI’s fundraising seal of approval.<\/strong>
\nThe Friends of Berlin Palace society is proud that in its cost structure it has since 2007 regularly fulfilled and even surpassed the guidelines of the German Central Institute of Social Affairs (the fundraising monitoring authority). Since that time, we have been Germany’s only cultural development society to be re-awarded the DZI seal of approval every year.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We are convinced: together we can do this – with your generous help!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
