A plan developed by Karl Friedrich Schinkel in 1828 for a landscaped park between the royal museum and palace was only partially carried out. The giant granite basin, the largest of its kind built since antiquity, was regarded as a technical masterpiece. A neo-baroque reconstruction of the garden from 1871 with an equestrian statue of King Frederick III prominently placed in the center, was converted into a military parade field in 1935. The current design created in 1999 by Hans Loidl is reminiscent of the original Schinkel landscape architecture.
