Abstract (en)

The former pumphouse in Berlin, designed 1873-1876 by James Hobrecht, has been renovated for use as a museum for monumental sculpture. Discusses the transfer of a number of public sculptures commissioned by Wilhelm II in the 1890s for the Siegesallee, Berlin, to the pumphouse, now the Lapidarium. The statues, which clearly were intended as political propaganda, had been taken down after World War II and stored in various locations in the city.
