Schinkel School

Nineteenth-Century Revival and Eclectic Architecture

The Schinkel school was a German architectural style active from 1840 to the end of the nineteenth century, taking its name from Karl Friedrich Schinkel, its leading figure. It is associated with the related Rundbogenstil, or round arch style, of the same period in German architecture. Documentation of the Schinkel school's own specific design vocabulary is thin, and the source consulted for this entry is itself a short, uncited stub, so this description is necessarily brief; a fuller account of its buildings and characteristics is a gap for a later depth pass.
