Berlin-Mitte. Unter den Linden 1. Alte Kommandantur building exterior & facade. Reconstruction of Historic 17th Century original 17th Century Baroque style building by architect Johann Gregor Memhardt was enlarged in 1795 and modified in 1873 in a neo-Renaissance style. The Alte Kommandantur building was heavily damaged during World War ll and was demolished to build the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of East Germany. The Ministry for Foreign Affairs of East Germany was demolished in 1995 and replaced by the Werderscher Markt area. The Alte Kommandantur was rebuilt by media conglomerate Bertelsmann and the Bertelsmann Stiftung foundation to become its joint Berlin liaison office at Unter den Linden 1. The new building design was based on historic pre-war photographs and documents. The building was completed in November 2003.
