Berlin - German Cathedral Deutscher Dom

On the southwest side of the Gendarmenmarkt in Berlin stands the Deutscher Dom, originally built in a simpler form by Martin Grünberg between 1701-08. The portico and domed tower were added by C. F. von Gontard during the reign of Frederick the Great. The dome is crowned by a 7 m/23ft high gilded sculpture ("Virtue" or "Grace"). Georg Wenzelhaus von Knobelsdorff is buried in the cathedral.
