The Weimar Republic’s young democracy sit up a cultural institution that made it possible to open these locations to everyone.

The palaces, gardens and collections are related to one another and the cultural landscapes surrounding them by a historical context that evolved over centuries. They reflect the artistic developments and the history of Prussia, Germany and Europe in exemplary fashion. Prussian art and history, in all its contradictions, can be experienced at these sites like nowhere else. We preserve the gardens, buildings and collections in situ in their extant original entirety handed down to us and make them accessible to everyone. We care for and maintain, research, interpret, present and communicate this one-of-a-kind heritage for the sake of the general public and to encourage discussion.
Simultaneously we are in constant interaction with society, politics and public institutions and are dependent on the support of partners, patrons and sponsors. Similarly, we actively work together with public and private organizations and individuals to achieve our objectives.
