History+

The Wilhelmspalais was constructed between 1834 and 1840 under the direction of Giovanni Salucci, court architect to King Wilhelm I of Württemberg. It was originally intended as a residence for Princesses Marie and Sophie. Karl Ludwig von Zanth was responsible for the interior design. Later, King Wilhelm II of Württemberg, a grandnephew of Wilhelm I, resided in the palace. During the November Revolution in 1918, revolutionaries entered the building, leading to the king's abdication on November 30, 1918.
