On 28 May 1695, the Elector Friedrich III of Brandenburg who after 1701 called himself King Friedrich I in Prussia, gave the orders to lay the foundation stone of the Berlin Zeughaus, the Arsenal. The first architect was Johann Arnold Nering. He was followed by Martin Grünberg and then, from 1698 to 1699, by Andreas Schlüter. The building was given its final exterior form by Jean de Botd in 1706. But it wasn't until 1730 that the construction was finally completed.
