Good to know
The 18th-century Neo-classical monument is one of the most easily recognisable landmarks in Berlin. This old gate was constructed on the orders of Prussian king Frederick William II and still stands tall at the junction of Unter den Linden and Ebertstraße. The gate is 26 meters high, 65.5 meters long, and 11 meters deep. It was restored after it suffered damage around WW II.
Symbol of the chaotic history and cold war of Germany and Europe, this historical monument has played different roles in the political game throughout the cold war and post-1989 revolutions.
There is one more Brandenburg Gate at Potsdam which was built in 1771.
