Neue Wache at night

The Neue Wache (English: New Watchhouse) is a listed building on Unter den Linden boulevard in the historic centre of Berlin, Germany. Erected from 1816 to 1818 according to plans by Karl Friedrich Schinkel as a guardhouse for the Royal Palace and a memorial to the Liberation Wars, it is considered a major work of Prussian Neoclassical architecture. A Victoria pedimental sculpture by Johann Gottfried Schadow and five General statues by Christian Daniel Rauch, referring to the Warrior statues on Schlossbrücke, also belong to the ensemble.[1] Since 1993, the Neue Wache has been home to the Central Memorial of the Federal Republic of Germany to the Victims of War and Tyranny.[2]

Neue wache is known for its changing of the guard ceremony, which went unchanged throughout the 20th century despite several changes to the German State. Neue Wache is no longer regularly guarded but still is on special events. The modern changing of the guard lacks the goose step but is otherwise nearly identical to the old one. [3]
