Neuer Marstall
Neuer Marstall stands on Schloßplatz beside Berlin’s Spree River, presenting a historic neo-Baroque façade in sandstone. Its central projection carries paired columns and a crowning pediment.
Ernst von Ihne designed the building, completed in 1901 for the royal equerry’s horses and carriages. Otto Lessing added rich sculptural decoration to the sandstone façade. The Second World War severely damaged the structure, which received partial repairs during the 1960s and further renovation in 2005. It later served the Berlin Academy of Arts as an exhibition space.
The building houses the Hanns Eisler Academy of Music and Berlin City Library. The Spree pediment features the Horse Tamers group, preserved while the interior adapted for music and library use.
