Brandenburg Gate
The Brandenburg Gate was built between 1789 and 1793 based on designs by Carl Gotthard Langhans. The early classical triumphal arch is located on Pariser Platz in Berlin's Mitte district 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 important 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.
Television Tower
The Berlin Television Tower was built from 1964 to 1969 based on designs by 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 the sixth-tallest television tower in Europe. The Television Tower is located at Alexanderplatz in Berlin's Mitte district and was opened in October 1969 in the former GDR. Today, it is one of the most famous landmarks of Berlin and all of Germany.
