The only remaining town gate of Berlin became the landmark of the city and a symbol for German unity. It is located directly at the Pariser Platz very close to the Reichstag. The gate was built between 1788 and 1792 by C.G. Langhans. The construction made of sandstone originates from the Propylaeum of the Acropolis in Athens. The Brandenburg Gate was surrounded by additional buildings, which were destroyed during World War II. After an expensive restoration, it was again unveiled on October 3rd 2002. |
