Palais Schaumburg

After World War II, the Belgian Army staff used the building until it became the official seat of the first chancellor of the Federal Republic, Konrad Adenauer, in November 1949.

Palais Schaumburg became home to the federal ministry for environment, conservation as well as reactor safety (Bundesministeriums für Umwelt, Naturschutz und Reaktorsicherheit) when it was formed in 1986.

The palais was used at the signing of the treaty about the creation of a currency, economy and social union in 1990 by representatives of both German states.

Usually, the Haus der Geschichte provides the opportunity to book tours and to visit the historical place.

The virtual tour shows all exhibition rooms as well as three views from the outside, providing a look at the building and the park.
