In November 1918, the Spartacist leader, Karl Liebknecht, declared the German Socialist Republic from a balcony of the Stadtschloss, ending more than 400 years of royal occupation of the building.
It is believed that it was here, on the 11 November 1918, that Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg’s leftist revolutionary group renamed themselves the Spartakusbund (The Spartacus League).
