About this motif
Karl Friedrich Schinkel built the playhouse on the Gendarmenmarkt after its predecessor burned down. It is regarded as one of his principal works and a jewel of Berlin Neoclassicism.
Peters' etching "Berlin around 1830 – The Gendarmenmarkt with Playhouse and German Church" shows the square with carriages and strollers, the domed tower on the left and the theatre on the right. Image about 8 x 11 cm, black and white or hand-coloured, framed on request.
