Architecture in and around Berlin
Buildings and designs by Karl Friedrich Schinkel and Peter Behrens. Each project opens its location on the map, documented information and the underlying sources.
Akzisemauer am Neuen Tor · erhaltener Abschnitt
Hannoversche Straße 9 · 1834–1836
A surviving section of the customs wall; the lost gatehouses are a separate historical component.

Subsequently altered; the historic construction phase is identified separately.

Rebuilt after wartime damage; later alterations are separate phases.
Baldachingrab Job von Witzleben
Scharnhorststraße 33 / Invalidenfriedhof · 1841
The date refers to installation; the design preceded it.
Bauakademie · historischer Standort
Schinkelplatz / historisch Niederlagstraße 2 · 1832–1836
The historic building was demolished; protected foundations survive. A modern reconstruction or display structure is not an original Schinkel building.

Friedrichswerdersche Kirche
Werderscher Markt · 1824–1830
The heritage register dates construction to 1824–30; its description extends the period to 1831. Construction and inauguration dates differ.
