Humboldt Forum: Schloßkeller (Palace Cellar)
Description
You can descend down into the basement of the forum where you meet the former cellars of the palace - the only parts of the 17th century building that survived the war and demolition. For a number of years in the early 2000s parts of the cellars were visible from above ground as demolition of the DDR parliament took place, before they disappeared again under the construction of the forum. You can also see the sites where the East German government set the charges that demolished the ruined palace, craters still visible in the ground today.
