It was the court of the Hohenzollern family that dominated the city in the 1880s and the era was also referred to [...] Continue Reading…

Die Friedrichwerdersche Kirche steht gegenüber vom Auswärtigen Amt am Werderschen Markt des Friedrichwerders. Das Wort Werder bezieht sich auf eine Flussinsel bzw. auf einen gegen Wasser geschütztes oder schützendes Land, ähnlich wie der Wehr. In Berlin allerdings, hat sich das Wort Deich durchgesetzt.
