Gendarmenmarkt 3D Experience (400 MB!!!)

You’re standing on Gendarmenmarkt Berlin — empty, still, the usual bustle paused. The square has just reopened after a long renovation, and this 3D scan captures its renewed form, warts and all: some texture artefacts, massive data size (≈ 400 MB), but also a beautiful, raw intimacy. You can wander freely between the German and French Domes, meet friends here, explore without interruption. A bit of history Gendarmenmarkt is one of Berlin’s most beautiful historic squares, sitting in Mitte. It features three architectural jewels: the German Cathedral (Deutscher Dom), the French Cathedral (Französischer Dom), and in the center the Konzerthaus (a concert hall formerly the Schauspielhaus). The square dates back to the late 1600s (originally called Lindenmarkt), then redesigned and named Gendarmenmarkt in the late 18th century after a Prussian guard regiment (“Gendarmen”) had their stables here. During World War II many buildings were damaged; major restorations have taken place since, especially after German reunification. The Konzerthaus was rebuilt, and both domes restored.
