The Kleiner J*gerhof was dismantled and a new structure was built from 1838 to 1841 in the classical style. Sch*n suggested the creation of an art academy in the new building to Culture Minister Johann von Eichhorn on 14 May 1841. Supported by Professor Ernst August Hagen, Sch*n then petitioned Frederick William III in October 1841, with King Frederick William IV granting his approval in a cabinet order on 3 May 1842.
