Gendarmenmarkt
Lonely Planet review for Gendarmenmarkt
Berlin’s most graceful square gets its name from the Gens d’Armes, a Prussian regiment consisting of French Huguenot immigrants. Local Huguenots worshipped at the Französischer Dom (French Dome), where a small museum now chronicles their story. The cathedral closely mirrors the Deutscher Dom (German Dome) opposite, home to a hopelessly academic exhibit on German democracy. Completing the trio is Schinkel’s beautiful Konzerthaus Berlin.
