Treppenabgang zum Schlosskeller
This is where you will find surviving sections of the medieval Dominican monastery as well as the foundations of the Berlin Palace, which were excavated in 2008.
In the winding corridors you can discover everything from a chicken coop to the imperial heating system, which was highly technologically advanced for its time. All these finds shed light on the lives and work of the monastery’s residents and the palace’s servants.
For those who want to find more information about the history of the sight, the store in the Humboldt Forum is recommended or visit the ONLINE STORE with a selection of titles and catalogs.
