Events in Berlin, at the start of the exhibition "Women in Business" in the Castelli Women

From next April 2, 2015 there will be something more to see in Berlin. Will indeed be visited four castles of great historical and artistic interest thanks to the work of the Foundation of Prussian castles and gardens Berlin Brandenburg (SPSG), which manages the extraordinary artistic and cultural heritage of the German capital and Brandenburg, which has for capital Potsdam. Four great castles bind its history to that of many great women. These are the "Castles of women": Sanssouci Palace in Potsdam, linked to Elizabeth Ludovica of Bavaria, Queen of Prussia; Charlottenburg Palace in Berlin, linked to Auguste von Harrach, Princess of Liegnitz; Castle Glienicke, Berlin, linked to - Maria of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach, Princess of Prussia; Castle Schönhausen, in Berlin, tied a- Elisabeth Christine of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel-Bevern, Queen of Prussia. A series of events in the Castle Schönhausen will also mark the 300th anniversary of the Queen Elisabeth Christine of Prussia (1715-1797). Concerts and lectures will be devoted to the life and work of the little-known wife of Frederick the Great. The life of the queen will be commemorated with a presentation room in the castle garden.

The locations selected have a special bond with their illustrious inhabitants, who often have left an indelible mark even from a historical point of view. In the exhibition "Business Women" permanent exhibitions existing inside the castles will be supplemented and extended so as to focus attention on the role played by the rulers of the House of Hohenzollern and the role they played in the development of Berlin and Brandenburg.
