About event
On November 1, 1539, Elector Joachim II of Brandenburg received the Lord's Supper in both forms in St. Nikolai in Spandau and Brandenburg became Protestant.
While his brother Hans von Küstrin confessed to Protestantism shortly after taking office, Joachim II only officially took this step in 1563. His church policy was conservative and aimed at a good relationship with the emperor and the Catholic princes in the empire.
He had the Berlin Palace redesigned in the early Renaissance style. The model was Hartenfels Castle in Torgau. Only a little later, the specialists involved in building the palace built the electoral hunting lodge in the green forest.
Joachim II awarded contracts to the Cranach workshop for the furnishing of the cathedral church and the palace.
Local area manager Kathrin Külow (SPSG) leads through the Cranach exhibition and provides insights into the history of Electoral Brandenburg in the 16th century.
