Berlin's Palace Square is a square in Berlin located in the immediate vicinity of the Museum Island and ending with the Palace Bridge, which turns into Unter den Linden Street. The square got its name thanks to the City Palace towering over it and demolished in 1950. In 1891, the Neptune fountain, designed by Reingold Begas, was erected on Palace Square. In 1951, after the demolition of the City Palace, the area was enlarged and renamed Marx and Engels Square . The square was rarely used during the GDR, there was a parking lot, and demonstrations were rarely held. In 1976, the Palace of the Republic was built here, which took up half of the area. After the demolition, a lawn was planted on the site of the palace. During excavations carried out after 1989, the foundations of the palace were opened, which is still available for examination. In 1994, the square was returned to its former name, and today it is planned to build a new palace on the square, with the restoration of the old facades. The name of the future building is the Humboldt Forum. On the southeast side of the square rises the former building of the State Council of the GDR.
