Berlin Classicism

Sculptor, painter, set designer and architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel left his mark all over Berlin. After designing the Prussians' military medal, the Iron Cross, he was commissioned to create a series of civic buildings, including the National Theater, the museums on Museum Island and St. Nicholas' Church in Potsdam. He mixed his own Romantic tastes with the royally approved Classical style to form “Berlin Classicism,” and gave his undivided attention to every detail, right down to the doorknobs.
