The Neue Wache (engl. New Guard) is an architectural monument on the boulevard Unter den Linden 4 in Berlin's Mitte district and part of the Forum Fridericianum. Built in the years 1816-1818 by Karl Friedrich Schinkel as a guard for the opposite Royal Palace and a monument to the Wars of Liberation, it is one of the main works of German Classicism. In addition to a Victoria relief by Johann Gottfried Schadow, the building ensemble also includes five general statues by Christian Daniel Rauch, which refer to the warrior groups at the castle bridge. Since 1993, the Neue Wache has served as the central memorial of the Federal Republic of Germany for the victims of war and tyranny.
