Happy Sliders Sunday, Everyone :-)
Charlottenburg Palace was originally commissioned by Sophia Charlotte of Hanover (1668 - 1705). She was the first Queen consort in Prussia, after her husband, the former Elector of Brandenburg
(Frederick III), crowned himself the first Prussian King Frederick I in 1701. Sophia Charlotte and Frederick founded a famous dynasty of Prussian kings with their son Frederick William I, also known as "Soldier King", and their grandson, Frederick II, also known as Frederick the Great.
The original name of the palace, which was inaugurated in 1699, and which was used by Sophia Charlotte as a permanent residence, was "Lietzenburg" (Burg = castle), as it was built on the grounds of what then was the small village of Lietzow which was located 7 kilometers from Berlin. After Sophia Charlotte's untimely death on 1 February 1705 at the age of only 36, King Frederick I (re)named the castle and the adjoining village of Lietzow "Charlottenburg"
in her honour. Today Charlottenburg is, together with Wilmersdorf ("Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf"), one of Berlin's 12 boroughs.

Als das von Sophie Charlotte von Hannover (1668-1705) in Auftrag gegebene und von ihr bis zu ihrem frühen Tode als Residenz genutzte Schloss 1699 eingeweiht wurde, hieß es noch "Lietzenburg", da es auf dem Gelände des Dörfchens Lietzow errichtet worden war. Sophie Charlotte war mit dem ersten preußischen König Friedrich I. verheiratet, der Schloss und Dorf nach ihrem Tod ihr zu Ehren in "Charlottenburg" umbenannte. Charlottenburg ist heute zusammen
mit Wilmersdorf (Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf) einer von Berlins 12 Bezirken.
