Zeughaus
The Zeughaus (old arsenal) of Berlin, is the oldest construction built on Unter den Linden. It was erected between 1695 and 1706 in Baroque style, to be used as an artillery arsenal. It was built following the plans of Johann Arnold Nering ; after his death, Jean de Bodt and Andreas Schlüter took on the overall supervision.
The building was transformed into a military museum in 1875. From 1949-65 the Zeughaus was restored after heavy war damage, the interior being completely redesigned. Today the Zeughaus is the site of the Deutsches Historisches Museum (Museum for German History).
