Schinkel, Persius, Stüler - Buildings in Berlin and Potsdam [German]

By Barry Bergdoll

It can be said that those who know he works of Karl Friedrich Schinkel (1781-1841), Ludwig Persius (1803-1845) and Friedrich August St ler (1800-1865) in Berlin and Potsdam also know the architects' work as a whole in each case. The truly gigantic lifework of Schinkel extends from Aachen to St. Petersburg; Berlin and Potsdam have about a third of his work. During his short life Persius worked almost exclusively in Potsdam and its intimate vicinity; he was the King's architect. St ler's work is found in a region extending from Cologne on the Rhine to Masuria, with some important buildings in Stockholm and Budapest as well. About a quarter of his work can be found in Potsdam and Berlin where St ler too was the King's architect.
