THE DETONATION OF THE PALACE RUINS
The craters, shattered walls, and pieces of rubble give an idea of the enormous power of the explosion that destroyed the Eosander Gate. In 1950, the East German government decided to demolish the palace, which had been severely damaged in World War II and was now a burned-out ruin. Before the destruction, specialists were commissioned to document the ruins and conserve individual pieces. The rubble was used to fill in the palace cellar after the detonation.
