Construction History
Construction History
The site now occupied by the cubic structure of the new Kunstmuseum was once home to the ruins of the Kronprinzenpalais, which had been damaged during an air raid in 1944. The Kronprinzenpalais had served as an urban counterpart to the Wilhelmspalais at the opposite end of the Planie. After the ruins were demolished in 1963, the Planie was redeveloped into a six-lane road with four additional tunnels designed for both cars and trams. To make crossing in the Königstraße easier for pedestrians, the stair-like Kleine Schloßplatz was constructed in 1968. However, it never fully met its intended purpose and was not widely embraced. For years, discussions revolved around demolishing the structure, as it was seen as unnecessary, especially after the surface-level street had been covered again. The construction of the new Kunstmuseum after the year 2000 filled this gap in the urban landscape next to the Königsbau along Königstraße.

Description
The cubic museum building with 5000 m 2 of display space was designed by Berlin architects Hascher and Jehle. During the day it looks like a glass cube, and at nights the interior lighted limestone walls become visible.
