In honor of the invalids ('Invalidus' = intact) as they wanted to honor the infirmity; if, for example, a soldier lost his leg, etc., he was still called intact to honor him and not be depicted as a cripple.

"Invalidenhaus (1748-1938)
The first suggestion for the establishment of the Invalidenhaus Berlin as forerunner of today's Invalidensiedlung in Berlin-Frohnau goes back to King Frederick I in Prussia, who in 1705 after French model, the plan for the construction of special accommodation for disused and disused war soldiers. However, it was not until the reign of Frederick II the Great that, after the end of the Second Silesian War, he ordered the construction of the "Invalidenhäuser" in Berlin and Stolp and made the necessary funds available. As architect, engineer captain Isaac Jacob of Petri was commissioned with the construction. 1748 was the Invalidenhaus Berlin, which was located at the gates of the city to the west, and was completed on 15 November 1748. This date is considered the actual foundation day. When choosing the location of the baroque three-winged castle-like building complex, whose main front to later Berlin-Spandau shipping canal showed, the king had placed on the proximity to the Charité value.
The Invalidenhaus in Berlin had, according to the king's wishes, a distinctively military character, like the other invalid houses. For the internal organization and organization, the king had issued the traditional instruction before the Commendanten of the Invalidenhauses of 31.8.1748. "
