Brandenburg Gate (beige, center)
The Brandenburg Gate was built between 1789 and 1793 based on designs by Carl Gotthard Langhans. This early Neoclassical triumphal arch is located in Berlin's Mitte district at Pariser Platz and is the only remaining of the original 18 city gates of Berlin. 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, symbolically bringing 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 Germany's tallest tower and also Europe's sixth tallest TV tower. The TV Tower is located at Alexanderplatz in Berlin's Mitte district and was opened in October 1969 in the former GDR territory. Today, it is one of the most famous landmarks of Berlin and all of Germany.
Berlin Radio Tower (red, 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 Berlin's Westend district. Originally, the Radio Tower served for radio and television broadcasts, but its technical significance steadily declined from the 1980s onwards. 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 erected between 1864 and 1873 based on 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 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.
