Two marble and sandstone Corinthian capitals, each standing two meters tall, were created by Karl Friedrich Schinkel in 1817 and placed in Charlottenburg Palace Park in the Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf district of Berlin. These architectural fragments, repurposed as sculptural elements, exemplify the neoclassical architect's interest in classical forms and the aesthetics of spolia—the reuse of ancient or historical architectural components as decorative objects within a new setting.
