Gendarmenmarkt is one of the loveliest plazas in Europe. The ensemble created by the Schauspielhaus (playhouse) and the two dome buildings at each side is quite singular.
In 1780–85 Karl von Gontard added identical non-functional towers to the two unremarkable churches. The French Church is on the northern side of the plaza. The German Church was rebuilt more simply after it was damaged in the war and now houses an exhibition on the history of the German Parliament.
In 1817–21 the Schauspielhaus theater, used today as a concert hall, was built by Karl Friedrich Schinkel. The Schiller Monument was set in front of the Schauspielhaus in 1871. |
