Brandenburg Gate
The Brandenburg Gate was built between 1789 and 1793 based on designs by Carl Gotthard Langhans. This early classical triumphal arch is located in Berlin's Mitte district on Pariser Platz and is the only remaining of the 18 former city gates of Berlin. Inspired by ancient Greek and Roman architecture, the gate is now considered one of Germany's most important 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.
Oberbaum Bridge
The Oberbaum Bridge was built between 1894 and 1896 in the Neo-Gothic style according to the plans of the architect Otto Stahn. It connects the Berlin districts of Friedrichshain and Kreuzberg and is now considered a landmark of the Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg district. After reunification, the bridge was extensively restored and modernized according to designs by the architect Santiago Calatrava. Its striking towers and red bricks make the Oberbaum Bridge one of Berlin's most beautiful bridges.
