Am Kupfergraben 6, Revenue house in Dorotheenstadt, Berlin, Germany
Am Kupfergraben 6 is a four-story residential building along the Spreekanal waterfront near Museum Island. The structure displays neoclassical features with regularly spaced windows and retains its original stone façade from the 19th century.
The building was constructed in 1832 during Berlin's transformation into a modern capital and was part of the Spree waterfront's restructuring. Its neoclassical style reflects Prussia's modernization ambitions of the era.
It was originally designed as a residence for prosperous families and shapes the streetscape of Museum Island with its understated, formal façade. The classical window frames and symmetrical arrangement of openings reflect the work of Berlin's builders during this period.
The building stands on Museum Island, which is easily reached by public transport. Visitors can stroll along the waterfront and admire the structure from outside, while the area offers numerous cultural venues.
