Altes Waisenhaus, Historical orphanage building in Stuttgart, Germany.

The Altes Waisenhaus features a rectangular layout with an elongated inner courtyard and three-story wings topped by a hipped roof with dormers.

Built in 1705 by architect P. J. Jenisch and master builder Johann Ulrich Heim, the structure transformed from a planned cavalry barracks into an orphanage in 1712.

The Institute for Foreign Relations occupies the building since 1925, following its restoration by architect Paul Schmitthenner between 1922 and 1924.

Located at Charlottenplatz in central Stuttgart, the building houses the Amadeus Restaurant with a beer garden in the tree-lined inner courtyard.

The facility operated as both an orphanage and a disciplinary institution, implementing strict daily routines to prevent children from becoming street beggars.
