history
The lapidary was the former Hallesches Ufer pumping station housed, which since 1977 as a technical monument under monument stands.
The lapidarium has been closed since 2010 and is no longer open to the public. A communications agency bought the building and converted it into a commercial space. The eight groups of figures on the Schlossbrücke returned to their historical location in East Berlin in 1981 , as did the Schiller Memorial in 1985. The monuments and busts on Siegesallee were moved from the Lapidarium to the Spandau Citadel in May 2009 . There they were restored and have been unveiled as part of the new permanent exhibition since April 2016 . Berlin and its monuments presented.
In the 2002 feature film Shots , the outdoor area with the characters from Siegesallee was extensively built into the plot.
