Im Zentrum des "Gartenhofs" im Kleistpark bildet seit 1945 die Bronzefigur "Genius des Geistes" auf einem hohen kubischen Sockel inmitten einer formalen Beetfläche einen Blickpunkt. Die geflügelte Figur hält eine Fackel in der linken Hand. Sie stammt vom Sockel des Reiterdenkmals für Friedrich Wilhelm III. im Lustgarten, das 1863-71/76 von Albert Wolff geschaffen und im Zweiten Weltkrieg zerstört wurde. Die ab 1871 entstandene Figur beugte sich einst über die Allegorie der Wissenschaft.
Das neobarocke Kammergericht entstand nach Plänen von Paul Thoemer und Rudolf Mönnich 1909-1913 auf dem Westteil des ehemaligen Botanischen Gartens, der 1906 nach Berlin-Dahlem umgezogen war. Die Königskolonnaden waren 1910-11 als repäsentativer Zugang zum Kleistpark und zum Kammergericht an die Potsdamer Straße versetzt worden. Nach dem 2. Weltkrieg wurde das Gebäude bis 1991 zum Sitz des Alliierten Kontrollrats. Nach Sanierung 1991-97 ist dort heute wieder das Kammergericht untergebracht.

Since 1945, the bronze figure "Genius of the Mind" has been a focal point in the center of the "Garden Courtyard" in Kleist Park, standing on a high cubic pedestal amidst a formal flowerbed. The winged figure holds a torch in its left hand. It originates from the base of the equestrian monument to Frederick William III in the Lustgarten, which was created by Albert Wolff between 1863 and 1871/76 and destroyed in World War II. The figure, created from 1871 onward, once bent over the allegory of science.
The neo-Baroque Kammergericht (Chamber Court) was built between 1909 and 1913 according to plans by Paul Thoemer and Rudolf Mönnich on the western part of the former Botanical Garden, which had been relocated to Berlin-Dahlem in 1906. The Königskolonnaden (Royal Colonnades) were relocated to Potsdamer Straße in 1910 and 1911 as a representative entrance to Kleist Park and the Kammergericht (Chamber Court). After World War II, the building became the seat of the Allied Control Council until 1991. Following renovations from 1991 to 1997, it once again houses the Kammergericht.

Que le soleil est beau quand tout frais il se lève ,
Comme une explosion nous lançant son bonjour !
_Bienheureux celui-là qui glorieux qu'un rêve!
Je me souviens!... J 'ai vu tout,fleur,source,sillon,
Se pâmer sous son œil comme un cœur qui palpite....
_ Courons vers l'horizon ,il est tard, courons vite ,
Pour attraper au moins un oblique rayon !
