Brandenburger Tor
 The Brandenburger Tor, or Brandenburg Gate in English, was designed by Carl Gotthard and built from 1778 to 1791. The representation of Victoria crowning the gate was originally a symbol of peace. However in 1806 Napoleon took the statue of Victoria as one of his spoils of war to Paris . After the Battle of Waterloo, Victoria was triumphantly returned to Berlin , and transformed from peaceful Victoria to a symbol of battle victory. Ironically, it smugly overlooks France’s unattractive embassy on Unter den Linden. After the war, the Berlin wall was built right through Brandenburger Tor and the gate came to represent the division of . In 1989, the gate became a scene of a great celebration with the fall of the wall. |
