The church Französische Friedrichstadtkirche was built from 1701-05 to the designs of Cayart, as a church for Berlin's Huguenot community, thus the reason for its name. From 1780-85, the imposing tower of the French cathedral (Französischer Dom) was added to plans by Gontard and Unger as part of the redesigning of Gendarmenmarkt. The cathedral, which was badly damaged in the war, was rebuilt from 1977.

Deutscher Dom (German Cathedral)

From 1701-08, the so-called "Neue Kirche" was built by Giovanni Simonetti to plans by M. Grünberg. From 1780-85, Carl von Gontard extended the building with the addition of the domed tower of the "German Cathedral", during the redesigning of the Gendarmenmarkt. The cathedral was destroyed in the Second World War and reopened on October 2, 1996 following complete restoration.

Konzerthaus/Schauspielhaus

The Konzerthaus is the new building designed by Karl Friedrich Schinkel to replace the Nationaltheater built from 1800-02 by Karl Gotthard Langhans, which was burnt to the ground in 1817. The conception of the Konzerthaus integrates the remains of Langhan's rectangular building and adds a higher, wider, gabled solidium in the center, complete with an ionic columned hall projecting at the front. Following its destruction in the Second World War, the building was initially only made safe, and the systematic restoration of the original design only began in 1979. Since its reopening in 1984 it has served not as a theatre, but as a concert hall.
