Rheinsberg Palace lies in the municipality of
Rheinsberg, about 100 kilometres (62 mi) northwest of Berlin in the German district of
Ostprignitz-Ruppin. The palace on the eastern shore of the
Grienericksee is a classic example of the so-called
Frederician Rococo architecture style and served as a basis for
Sanssouci Palace. The palace rose to literary fame when it was described by
Theodor Fontane in his book
Wanderungen durch die Mark Brandenburg (“Walks through the
March of Brandenburg“) and by
Kurt Tucholsky in his
Rheinsberg. Ein Bilderbuch für Verliebte (“Rheinsberg. A Picture Book for Those in Love”). Until expropriation in 1945, Rheinsberg Palace was owned by the
House of Hohenzollern.
