Friedrichs-Waisenhaus Rummelsburg, Architectural heritage monument in Rummelsburg, Berlin, Germany.

The Friedrichs-Waisenhaus stands as a substantial building complex designed by Gustav Holtzmann, featuring classical architectural elements and symmetrical wings.

Established in 1702 under Frederick William I of Prussia, the orphanage expanded to care for 500 children by 1728 and received a new building in 1859.

The institution shaped Berlin's approach to child welfare by combining education and care facilities within a structured architectural environment.

Located at coordinates 52.4964°N, 13.4806°E, the former orphanage building maintains its position as a reference point in Berlin's eastern district.

The building survived multiple transformations, from military orphanage to workhouse, reflecting changing social welfare practices across three centuries.
