BERLIN - JANUARY 22: Traffic passes by a billboard depicting what the rebuilt Berlin Palace (Berliner Schloss) will look like at the location where it will stand in the city center on January 22, 2010 in Berlin, Germany. The Berliner Schloss was a palace built by Prussian kings completed in the 19th century and was heavily damaged in World War II. City authorities of communist East Berlin demolished the ruins in 1950 to make way for the Palace of the Republic, the former East German parliament building, which Berlin city authorities in turn demolished last year. The new Berlin Palace is to maintain much of the facade of the original. (Image credit: Getty Images via @daylife)
BERLIN - MARCH 09: Archeological remains stand at the site of the former Berlin Palace (Berliner Schloss) in the city center on March 9, 2010 in Berlin, Germany. The Berliner Schloss, which is to be reconstructed at the same site, was a palace built by Prussian kings, completed in the 19th century and was heavily damaged in World War II. City authorities of communist East Berlin demolished the ruins in 1950 to make way for the Palace of the Republic, the former East German parliament building, which Berlin city authorities in turn demolished last year. The new Berlin Palace is to maintain much of the facade of the original and construction is scheduled to begin this year. (Image credit: Getty Images via @daylife)
