Zeughaus, Military museum in Mitte, Germany.

The Zeughaus features a square layout with 90-meter sides, four wings surrounding an interior courtyard, and round-arch windows with decorated keystones.

Built between 1695 and 1706 under Frederick I of Prussia, the structure served as an artillery arsenal for displaying Brandenburg and Prussian cannons.

The German Historical Museum within the Zeughaus presents exhibitions focusing on military history, weaponry, and the progression of German warfare.

Located on Unter den Linden boulevard, the museum remains closed for renovation works until late 2025, with updates to permanent exhibitions.

Rudolf von Gersdorff attempted to eliminate Adolf Hitler in 1943 during an exhibition opening at this former arsenal building.
