Brandenburg Gate (white, center)
The Brandenburg Gate was built between 1789 and 1793 according to the designs of Carl Gotthard Langhans. This early classicist triumphal arch is located in the Berlin district of Mitte on Pariser Platz and is the only remaining of what were once 18 Berlin city gates. Inspired by ancient Greek and Roman structures, the gate is now considered one of Germany's most significant landmarks. It is crowned by the Quadriga with the goddess of victory, Victoria, who symbolically brings peace to the city. During the Cold War, the Brandenburg Gate stood directly on the border between East and West Berlin and became a symbol of German division and reunification.
TV Tower (blue, left)
The Berlin TV Tower was built from 1964 to 1969 according to the designs of architects Hermann Henselmann, Jörg Streitparth, Fritz Dieter, Günter Franke, and Werner Ahrendt. With a height of 368 meters, it is the tallest tower in Germany and also the sixth tallest TV tower in Europe. The TV Tower is located at Alexanderplatz in the Berlin district of Mitte and was opened in October 1969 in the territory of the former GDR. Today, it is one of the most famous landmarks of Berlin and all of Germany.
Berlin Radio Tower (green, right)
The Berlin Radio Tower was designed by architect Heinrich Straumer and opened in 1926. The 146.7-meter-high steel lattice tower is located on the exhibition grounds in the Westend district of Berlin. Originally, the Radio Tower was used for radio and television broadcasts, but from the 1980s onwards, it increasingly lost its technical significance. Today, it is a protected monument and is primarily known as a landmark, observation tower, and restaurant.
Victory Column (yellow, center)
The Berlin Victory Column was built between 1864 and 1873 according to a design by Heinrich Strack as a national monument. It commemorates the unification wars of the 19th century and is now located on the Großer Stern in the middle of the Tiergarten. Originally, the 67-meter-high column stood on Königsplatz and was moved to its current location during the "Third Reich" era. The gilded Victoria at the top, popularly known as "Goldelse," was created by Friedrich Drake and symbolizes victory in Roman mythology.
