Martin-Gropius-Bau, Cultural heritage monument in Ehrenbreitstein, Koblenz, Germany

The Martin-Gropius-Bau stands as a three-story brick building with fifteen window axes, high ceilings, and a clinker facade in the Ehrenbreitstein district.

Constructed between 1876 and 1877 by architects Martin Gropius and Heino Schmieden, the building initially served as a Prussian garrison hospital with 96 beds.

The building represents the architectural style of the Berlin School, following Karl Friedrich Schinkel's principles with its distinctive vaulted windows and central risalit.

Following extensive renovations completed in 2011, the Martin-Gropius-Bau now functions as a residential building with modern additions including balconies and elevator shafts.

The structure forms part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Upper Middle Rhine Valley since 2002, preserving its historical significance within the region.
