A state treaty established the Prussian Palaces and Gardens Foundation Berlin-Brandenburg (SPSG) as a public body on 1 January 1995. The task of the SPSG is to maintain the entrusted cultural assets with regard to historical, art-historical, horticultural and conservation issues. This also includes replenishing the inventory of the cultural heritage, making it accessible to the public and academically evaluating it in the interest of the general public and in particular of scholarship and education. The SPSG currently administers more than 300 buildings with their furnishings and interiors (sculptures, paintings, furniture, textiles, graphics, books, porcelain, glass, medals etc.) and also more than 700 hectares of garden, including Sanssouci Palaces and Parks, the Potsdam Royal New Palace and Cecilienhof Palace in Potsdam, Charlottenburg Palace in Berlin and Rheinsberg Palace in Brandenburg.
Since 2007 the SPSG has been working together with the German Historical Institute Paris in opening up new academic fields in general and on relevant projects, a cooperation which is to be continued and strengthened in future.
