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 Berlin's Mitte district on Pariser Platz and is the only surviving one of what were once 18 Berlin city gates. Inspired by ancient Greek and Roman structures, 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 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 the tallest tower in Germany 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 territory of the former GDR. Today, it is one of the most famous landmarks of Berlin and all of Germany.
