If you go through the splendid courtyard and entrance hall of the imposing three-winged building that was once the Veterinary School in
Luisenstrasse, you will come to a park at the back, in which is hidden the Anatomische Theater
(Anatomical Theatre). This is an early classical masterpiece, built in 1790 by Carl Gotthard
Langhans and conceived after the Teatro Anatomico in Padua which is 200 years
older. It is a two-storey building in the style of a villa with a low cupola and is famous for its circular lecture hall. Rows of
benches, decorated with filigree, climb steeply to the cupola and remind one of an
amphitheatre. Through the rounded archway to the annexe, built in similar style, is the entrance to the Institut für Fleischhygiene (Institute for Meat Hygiene). Here one can ring at the door and be shown the most beautiful lecture hall in Berlin. Under the keyword “Trichina temple”, the faculty of veterinary medicine has set up a donations account for the building which is badly in need of
restoration. Like the splendid crumbling facades of the historic buildings of the former veterinary
college, the park, which is traversed by the River Panke and was designed by Peter Joseph
Lenne is also somewhat faded in its
glory. Perhaps it is much loved by students for this reason. |
