Brandengurger Tor



what once stood in East Germany and overlooking the many events happened before the removal of the Berlin Wall, this Neo-classical structure, modelled after the Athenian Propylaea, with Victoria, the goddess of victory, driving the Quadriga.

located at the end of Unter den Linden.

there was a very useful tourist information centre just by the side of the gate which has ample information on architecture, but watch out for the date when it is closed!
