ANDREAS

SCHLUTER (1664-1714)  , Gentian sculptor and architect, was born in Hamburg . Much of his activity as a sculptor was exercised in Warsaw, but in 1694 he was summoned to Berlin . Two years later he began his designs for the rebuilding of the royal palace . The execution of these occupied him from 1699 to 1706, and the palace became a conspicuous example of barocco style in Germany . In 1713 Schluter went to St Peters-burg, where he did architectural work for Peter the Great . His principal works in Berlin are the monument of the great elector Frederick William and the 21 masks of dying warriors in the courtyard of the arsenal; the tombs of King Frederick I. and his wife, and the marble pulpit in the Marienkirche .
