Article removed from Wikipedia:Good articles[edit]

This article was formerly listed as a good article, but was removed from the listing because there are no references, and the lead does not summarise the article's content. Worldtraveller 01:04, 24 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Quality?[edit]

I hate to be a grammar nazi but... can someone rewrite this article in English please? The current syntax and grammar structure suggest a non native speaking author. It is extremely hard to read. The article is also full of semi-speculative and non-sourced references. 9th May 2006

Mausoleum[edit]

Some mention should be made of the impressive mausoleum on the palace grounds, a majestic Doric temple built in 1810 that contains the tombs of (Prussian) Queen Louise and King Friedrich Wilhelm III and (German) Emperor Wilhelm I and Empress Augusta. It would be interesting to know if it survived the war without major damage or was restored postwar. Sca 23:29, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Inaccuracy in intro[edit]

The current version states that the Charlottenburg Palace is "only building in the city dating back to the time of the Hohenzollern family.[2]". This is imprecise, inexact and incorrect. The House of Hohenzollern reigned in Germany and was resident in Berlin up until 1918. Is there something more appropriate which could be put into the lead? 142.68.138.25 (talk) 03:49, 29 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes they did rein up until 1918, but there are no palaces built after Charlottenburg still in Berlin that are left standing--99.148.30.31 (talk) 11:58, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"and the only royal residency in the city dating back to the time of the Hohenzollern family.[2]" is still nonsense -- there's at least schönhausen palace! and a travel guide is hardly a reliable "source". check http://www.spsg.de/index.php?id=33 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.177.83.161 (talk) 22:13, 5 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I mean, even if it were true it's crazy redundant - you could just say "the only royal residence in the city." john k (talk) 12:29, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Picture of the day

Charlottenburg Palace is a large palace in Charlottenburg, a part of the Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf borough of Berlin, Germany. The palace was built at the end of the 17th century and expanded during the 18th century. It includes much exotic internal decoration in baroque and rococo styles. It was badly damaged during the Second World War, but has since been reconstructed, becoming a major tourist attraction.Photograph: Thomas Wolf
