Central Memorial for the Victims of War and Tyranny of the Federal Republic of Germany<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Neue Wache is one of the most visited memorials in Germany. The Neue Wache was designed and built by Karl Friedrich Schinkel in the years 1816-1818, which renewed the old main guard of the royal palace. Since then it is called Neue Wache and is one of the main works of German classicism. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After reunification, then-Chancellor Helmut Kohl personally lobbied for the Neue Wache to be established in 1993 as a central memorial to the victims of war and tyranny in the Federal Republic of Germany<\/em>. An enlargement of K\u00e4the Kollwitz’s sculpture Mother with Dead Son<\/em>, also known as Piet\u00e0<\/em>, was placed in the center of the interior. The sculptor Harald Haacke – a student of Fritz Diederich, who in 1932 had made the life-size figures of the Mourning Parents<\/em> for the Roggefelde military cemetery by order of K\u00e4the Kollwitz – created the enlargement of the 38 cm tall sculpture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
