Brandenburg Gate

The Brandenburg Gate, Berlin´s only remaining city gate,is the true symbol of the city. Because it was situated in the no man´s land just behind the wall, it also became symbolic of the city´s seperation. After the fall of the wall, the gate was reopened on December 22, 1998. The sandstone construction, built 1788-1791 to plans by C.G. Langhans, was crowned in 1794 with the quadriga and the goddess of victory created ba J.G. Schadow, which face eastwards toward the city center.
