The northern part of the "Brüderstraße" today is covered by the 1964 building of the former Staatsrat of the German Democratic Republic. The façade at the "Schloßplatz" square includes the preserved portal No. IV of the demolished Hohenzollern City Palace, where Karl Liebknecht on November 9, 1918 declared a free socialist republic of Germany. After German reunification the building served as the Chancellery from 1999 to 2001. Today it houses the European School of Management and Technology and the Hertie School of Governance. The area north of the "Schloßplatz" is the site of the historic City Palace and of the 1976 Palast der Republik. In accordance with a 2002 resolution by the federal Bundestag parliament, the City Palace is currently being rebuilt.
