1828 CE
Karl Friedrich Schinkel, as head of the Prussian Building Commission, is the most prominent architect of neoclassicism in Prussia.
He has modeled the Royal Museum (now the Altes, or Old, Museum), built between 1825 and 1828 to house the Prussian Royal family's art collection, after the Greek Stoa in Athens.
The Berlin School of Architecture, led by Schinkel, employs iron frame structures and anticipates modern forms.
