Dimora della Sinfonia di Berlino e delle Orchestre sinfoniche nazionali, la Konzerthaus in Gendarmenmarkt funge da ospite per alcuni dei migliori concerti della musica classica. L'edificio originale venne costruito su richiesta del re Federico II e più tardi è diventato il Teatro Nazionale, grazie ai lavori di rinnovamento guidati da Carl Gotthard Langhans. Dopo essere stato devastato da un incendio, il teatro fu ricostruito dall'architetto di Berlino, Karl Friedrich Schinkel, e ribattezzato Schauspielhaus. L'edificio fu fortemente danneggiato durante la seconda guerra mondiale ma era riportato ai suoi fasti originali e riaperto nel 1984. Quello che vediamo oggi è la ricostruzione perfetta dell'originale di Schinkel.
