Staatsratsgebäude
Lonely Planet review for Staatsratsgebäude
With the Palast der Republik dismantled, Erich Honecker’s former HQ, the State Council Building, is the only remaining GDR structure on Schlossplatz. It’s now a business school and of interest only for its arched portal from the demolished Prussian city palace. The GDR honchos decided to spare it because it was from its balcony in 1918 that their ideological godfather Karl Liebknecht proclaimed (in vain) a Socialist republic.
