Neuer Marstall

The four-story sandstone building features ionic columns, pediments, and detailed sculptures depicting horse tamers along the Spree River side.

Ernst von Ihne designed this neo-baroque structure between 1897 and 1901 to replace older stables that housed 300 horses and royal carriages.

The former royal stable complex transformed into the Hanns Eisler Academy of Music, providing concert halls and practice rooms for musical education.

The building contains three concert venues, including a main hall with 300 seats and over 100 practice studios in the former horse boxes.

During the November Revolution of 1918, the building served as headquarters for the People's Navy Division and the Workers and Sailors Revolutionary Committee.
