The history of the construction of the Grunewald Palace

The Hunting Palace Grunewald (Jagdschloss Grunewald) of all surviving in Berlin is the oldest. In 1542, the avid hunter Elector Joachim II Hector decided to build a small hunting lodge on the shore of Lake Grunevaldsee. The court architects were given the command. But they significantly complemented the initial project and instead of the house built a palace in the style of the early Renaissance.

Historians believe that the author of the project was Caspar Theiss. The palace was built in a year and was named U green forest (Zum grünen Wald), and the forest around it began to be called Green Forest (Grunewald - Grunewald).

In 1705-1708, the first Prussian king Friedrich started the reconstruction of the palace, which was carried out by Martin Grünberg, adding to the building baroque elements. Since 1800, the palace began to be named after the surrounding lands - Grunewald.

Spartacus Rebellion - Issue 3

In a previous issue, Spartak and company showed the Praetorian army that flimsy militia was no match for the hungry and evil gladiators-climbers, but in Rome they were saddened and appointed the next person in charge of liquidating the unrest in the south. They became Praetor Publius Varius. Out of habit, having collected two thousand people anyway, Publius thought again - at Claudius he didn’t succeed in throwing gladiators with meat at all, it was not worth repeating mistakes.
