Brandenburg Gate (green)
The Brandenburg Gate was built between 1789 and 1793 according to the designs of Carl Gotthard Langhans. This early Neoclassical triumphal arch is located in Berlin's Mitte district at Pariser Platz and is the only surviving one of what were once 18 Berlin city gates. Inspired by ancient Greek and Roman architecture, the gate is now considered one of Germany's most significant landmarks. It is crowned by the Quadriga with Victoria, the goddess of victory, 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.
Sign "Leaving the American Sector" (white)
The famous sign "You are leaving the American Sector" stood at the Checkpoint Charlie border crossing on Friedrichstraße. The inscription was in English, Russian, French, and German, marking the border between East and West Berlin. Checkpoint Charlie was one of the most famous border crossings of the divided city between 1961 and 1990 and became a worldwide symbol of the Cold War.
