Brandenburg Gate
The Brandenburg Gate is an iconic landmark in Berlin, Germany. It is a neoclassical triumphal arch that was commissioned by King Frederick William II of Prussia and completed in 1791. The gate stands at the end of the Unter den Linden boulevard and marks the entrance to the Tiergarten park. It has become a symbol of both the city of Berlin and the reunification of Germany.
The Brandenburg Gate has a rich history and has witnessed many important events throughout the years. It was the site of Napoleon's triumphal entry into Berlin in 1806 and later served as a symbol of division during the Cold War when the Berlin Wall ran alongside it. After the fall of the Wall in 1989, the gate became a symbol of freedom and unity.
