The Konzerthaus Berlin on Gendarmenmarkt was designed by Karl Friedrich Schinkel from 1818 to 1821 as the Schauspielhaus. The article names no client. The infobox lists opening in 1821 and rebuilding in 1977. The text gives the opening as June 18, 1821, with the rebuild beginning in 1977 and the hall reopening in 1984.
The article describes a Neoclassical interior and says the exterior is a faithful reconstruction of Schinkel's designs. It gives no materials or hall dimensions. The organ has four manuals, a pedal, 74 stops and 5,811 pipes.
Weber's Der Freischütz premiered there in 1821, and the Prussian National Assembly met in the hall in 1848. It was renamed Konzerthaus Berlin in 1994. It is home to the Konzerthausorchester Berlin and hosts Young Euro Classic each summer. The article gives no hours or ticket details.
