5 St. Elisabeth St. Elizabeth s Church Berlin 10115,Invalidenstraße 3 Design: Construction: Addition: War demage: 1944 St. Elizabeth is the largest and most stately of the four suburban churches. It has a plaster finish in the classical style and it is the only one of the four churches which received a portico. It s visuable that Schinkel was inspired by Roman and Greek Temples, which he visited on his trip to Italy. These impressions are connected with his own Neoclassical language of forms. The semicircular aspse was not originally planned and both side apses were added three decades later by F.A.Stüler and G. Möller. Schinkel designed the interior s painted decorations.

6 St. Paul St. Paul s Church Berlin 13357, Pankstraße 54 Design: 1832 Construction: Addition: War demage: 1944 Modified reconstruction: 1957 New parish building: 1963 Situated on a hill, which is no longer perceivable in today s cityscape, the building resting on it s mount was reminiscent of a podium temple from acient Rome. Its architectural form reduced to a simple cube, St. Paul received a two-layered wall construction on the exteroir made of a stone structure imitating ashlar plastering and ornamented with Corinthian pilasters, which support an entablature with a pediment that corresponds to the classical canon. Schinkel s modest program for St. Paul did not survive very long: at the end of the 19th century simple single-nave hall church received a bell tower and it was expended by the addition of a parish building with a vestibule. 1

7 Altes Museum Old Museum Berlin 10178, Am Lustgarten Design: Construction: The Old Museum of Schinkel defined in it s building structure a museum type which is often used since this. The plan of the building shows a clearly structured organism of nearly ingenious simpilicity. A transverse, rectangular, four-winged arrangement encloses two inner courtyards and the central structure of the rotunda that towers over the interior. 1 The open logia, the gallery and the stairs, implicates the urban space in the building. This gallery faced the Palace and developed the Pleasure Grounds in a urban piazza. The solitary postion of the Old Museum doesn t fit with it s original urban idea. The Modern Art Gallery in Munich by S. Braunfels is an interpretation of the Old Museum and the State Gallery by J. Stirling is a ironic homage of it.

8 Lustgarten Pleasure Grounds Berlin 10178, Am Lustgarten Design: 1828 Execution: War demage: 1845 Redesign: 1999 The Lustgarten (Pleasure grounds), as it appaers today, represents a critical reconstruction of the garden complex that Schinkel created. 1 It was plannend as a representive end of Unter den Linden. The fountain in the shape of a granite basin should had been instaled in the rotunda of the Old Museum but it was to big for it, so it was displayed in front of the museum.

9 Schlossbrücke Palace Bridge Berlin 10117,Unter den Linden Design: 1819 Construction: Figures: War Demage: Rebuilding: Reconstruction:1983 The Palace Bridge was an important part of Schinkel s plan for a new urban plan for the space between Palace and Opera Piazza (today Bebel Piazza). The New Guardhouse and the Pleasure Grounds completed the new urban space. Since the bridge had the same width like the street, Unter den Linden was transformed in a big avenue between the palace and the Brandenburger Gate.

10 Neue Wache New Guardhouse Berlin 10117,Unter den Linden 4 Design: 1816 Construction: War demage: 1845 Rebuilding: The New Guardhouse at the End of Unter den Linden was planned as a building type in a small structure, which unified classical Greek form with Pussian restraint and which symbolized victory and victims, honor and mourning, the ability to defend themselves, as well as a certain middle-class civility. 1 From the beginning the building had a state presentation function. Preliminary design Redesign H. Tessenow

11 Friedrichwerdersche Kirche Friedrich-Werdersche Church Berlin 10117,Werderscher Markt Design: Construction: Modification: Friedrich-Werdersche Church was the first sacred building in Berlin build with brick walls since the Middle Ages. It affected the development of the Prusian exposed brick style. The design of Schinkel combined neo-gothic - and Classical Style and was one of the first examples for the eclectic historicism. The Neoclassicism next to the neo-gothic is characterized through it s pure forms surfaces, classical profile and details and the flat roof which is concealed behind a roof parapet.

12 Bauakademie Academy of Architecture Berlin 10117,Werderscher Markt Design: 1831 Construction: War demage: 1845 Demolition: The building was a hybrid space used for shops and buisnesses, an architecture school including a library, an art room and lecture rooms, the seat of the Oberbaudeputation, the studio and apartment of Schinkel.The so called red box, the exposed red cube stood out of Berlin s scheme of urban planning. It seemed to be like a sulitaire building but it created an urban piazza, which was open and similar to the perspectives of landscape gardens. Schinkel s design was influenced by modern English factory buildings. The Academy of Architecture was a modern skeletal construction. The walls no longer had a load-bearing function, but were set in between as vertical dividing elements in the supporting structure of the piers. The tectonic of the building was visuable.

13 Schauspielhaus Theater Berlin 10117,Gendarmenmarkt Design: 1817 Construction: Rebuilding: 1883 F. Genzmer 1905 H.Grube 1935 War demage: 1845 Demolition: Altered reconstruction as a concert hall:

14 St. Johannis St. John s Church Berlin 10559, Alt-Moabit 25 Design: 1832 Construction: Addition: Addition: Destroyed: 1944 Reconstruction: 1952 St. John s Church was built with a prominent, open staircase on a small hill. Schinkel designed the longitudinalsided wall differently from that of St. Elizabeth s Church, so that the inner organism is clearly visible from the exterior. At Fredrick William IV s request, F.A.Stüler designed building extensions after 1843, comprising a vicarage and a schoolhouse, a bell tower, an entrance hall to the curch an the arcade, which connected the building ensemble. 1

15 Schinkel-Pavillon Schinkel Pavilion Berlin, Luisenplatz Design and Construction: War demage: 1843 Repair/Reconstruction: (exterior) Restoration: x (interior) The Schinkel Pavilion was the summer house for King Frederick William III. The two-story, cubic building is built on a nearly square surface aera (18 meters x 16,4 meters). The nine rooms on each floor are arranged on a grid in such a way, that three rooms with a square ground plan can be found on the narrower sides and three rectangular rooms are located in the so- mewhat wider middle zone. They are accessible by a central double-sided staircase, illuminated by a skylight. 1
