Brandenburg Gate, Berlin, Germany - Travel Information, History, Story and Images

Description:
Commissioned by Friedrich Wilhelm II in the 1700s to represent peace, the Brandenburg Gate has become one of Berlin's most recognisable and photographed landmarks. Originally built as a customs post, the gate was an integral part of the Berlin Wall and remained locked for the duration of the Communist rule. When the wall that was once the boundary between East and West Berlin was knocked down, the gate became an important symbol of German reunification and it is the only one out of 18 such gates that now remains. Designed in 1791 by Carl Gotthard Langhans, a detailed sculpture of the beautiful goddess Victory resides at the top of the structure.
