Brandenburg Gate
The Brandenburg Gate was built between 1789 and 1793 according to the designs of Carl Gotthard Langhans. The early classical triumphal arch is located in the Berlin Mitte district at Pariser Platz and is the only surviving of formerly 18 Berlin city gates. Inspired by ancient Greek and Roman buildings, 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.
Berlin Olympic Stadium
The Berlin Olympic Stadium was built between 1934 and 1936 according to the designs of architect Werner March for the 1936 Summer Olympics. From 2000 to 2004, the stadium was extensively modernized and rebuilt according to plans by the architectural firm Gerkan, Marg and Partner. Today, the Olympic Stadium is one of Germany's most important sports venues and hosts numerous national and international events.
