caption_attribution_description: Deutsch: Die Hauptfassade des Neuen Marstalls in Berlin-Mitte, hier gesehen vom Schlossplatz. Das Gebäude wurde 1896-1901 von Hofbaurat Ernst von Ihne im neobarocken Stil errichtet als Ersatz für das Marstallgebäude Unter den Linden, das dem heutigen Haus 1 der Staatsbiblitohek zu Berlin weichen musste. Die ehemaligen Pferdeställe wurden 1921 zu Büchermagazinen umgebaut und fortan von der Berliner Stadtbibliothek genutzt. Im Zweiten Weltkrieg beschädigt, erfolgte 1950-1954 und 1961-195 der Wiederaufbau in vereinfachter Fassung, bei dem auf eine Rekonstruktion des ursprünglichen Fassadenschutzes des Bildhauers Otto Lessing weitgehend verzichtet wurde. Das Gebäude wird in Teilen weiterhin von der Berliner Stadtbibliothek benutzt und beherbergt außerdem die "Hochschule für Musik 'Hanns Eisler'". Es ist als Baudenkmal gelistet. English: The front facade of the Neuer Marstall (New Royal Stables) in Berlin-Mitte. It was built 1896-1901 by Royal Architect Ernst von Ihne in the Neo-barock style as substitue for the Royal Stables Unter den Linden, which were demolished to make room for what is now House 1 of the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin (Berlin State Library). The former horse stables of Neuer Marstall were turned into book stacks in 1921 and the building was forthwith used by the Berlin City Library. Damaged in WWII, the building was reconstructed 1950-1954 and 1961-1965 without most of the original ornaments by sculptor Otto Lessing. It is still partly used by the Berlin City Library and also houses the "Hochschule für Musik 'Hanns Eisler'" ("University for Music 'Hanns Eisler'"). The building has been designated as a historic landmark.
context_page_description: The Neuer Marstall is a listed historic building in Berlin, Germany located on the Schloßplatz and the Spree River. Completed in 1901 and facing the former Royal Palace, the neo-Baroque "New Stables" once sheltered the Royal equerry, horses and carriages of Imperial Germany. The complex also included three enclosed courtyards, a riding school, and the Knights College.
  At the end of World War I, this was where revolutionaries hatched plans that brought down the Hohenzollern dynasty during the German Revolution of 1918–1919. Severely damaged in World War II, the building was partially repaired in the 1960s and used as an exhibition space for the Berlin Academy of Arts. After more renovations in 2005, the building became the home of the Hanns Eisler Academy of Music and the Berlin City Library. More restoration work has continued since 2007. Lonely Planet lists the Neuer Marstall at number 79 in their 815 "things to do" in Berlin.
