Historical traces between Baroque and urban development

The Ordnance House was newly built in 1782 according to plans by Georg Christian Unger on the orders of Frederick II. The facade with Roman soldier figures and the war gods Mars and Bellona makes the house a distinctive witness to the Baroque city expansion and Prussian culture of representation. Later, the building transformed into a municipal school, Charlotten School, girls' middle school, and eventually became the location of the school authority. Today, it is animated by the Charlottenstraße 31 e.V. association.
