Jagdschloss Glienicke in Berlin began in 1682 to 1684 as a small hunting lodge for Frederick William, the Great Elector. The text gives a hedged attribution to Charles Philippe Dieussart. The grounds were completed in 1693, and the English landscape garden was probably made with Peter Joseph Lenné. Frederick I rebuilt the lodge in Baroque style after 1701.
Ferdinand von Arnim renovated it in Neo-baroque style after 1859. Albert Geyer rebuilt it from 1889 to 1892 in a Historicism style, with an expanded central block and tower. Max Taut added a glass bay on the two lower floors from 1962 to 1964. The text names no materials or dimensions.
It later served as an orphanage and a Soviet army cadet school, and it stood next to the Berlin Wall from 1961. A fire on March 31, 2003 caused severe damage, and a rebuild began in November 2005. A training institute has used it since 2003. The article gives no hours.
