The Brandenburg Gate is located in the center of the German capital Berlin, originally a gate of the Berlin Wall, named after the gate that leads to Brandenburg. There are many tourists from all over the world in front of the Brandenburg Gate, and there is a US embassy next to it. The Brandenburg Gate is said to be the symbol of Berlin, and the sculpture on it is the symbol of the gate. At the top of the Brandenburg Gate is a bronze sculpture of the goddess of victory (Neckheed in Greek mythology, Victoria in Roman mythology) about 5 meters high. The goddess opens her wings behind her and drives a four-horse two-wheeled chariot facing the east of Berlin. In his right hand was a scepter with an oak wreath, and within it was an iron cross, and on it stood a winged eagle, who wore the crown of Prussia. In 1788, King Frederick William II of Prussia ordered the re-building of the Brandenburg Gate, which was completed in 1791 after three years, in memory of Prussia's victory in the Seven Years' War. For about 30 years (1961-1989), residents of West Berlin could only watch the Brandenburg Gate a few meters away from the Berlin Wall, the border between the Soviet-occupied territories and the US-occupied territories since 1945. After World War II, the Brandenburg Gate witnessed nearly half a century of division in Germany along with the Berlin Wall, which became a symbol of German reunification after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.

    The Brandenburg Gate, because of its special status in Berlin and even Germany, has become the venue for many celebrations in Germany. Every December 31, the open-air New Year's Eve party is held, and the square and the streets are crowded with people, and the stage is set up to hold a grand live performance to cheer, and people welcome the New Year together during the fireworks tour at midnight.

    The Brandenburg Gate is a neoclassical-style sandstone building modeled on the gates of the Acropolis. It is supported by 12 pillars, with 6 on each side of the east and west, and the front and rear columns are walls. The gate building is separated into 5 gates. The passage in the middle is slightly wider. It is designed for royal members. Earlier, only the royal family and guests invited by the royal family can pass.

    Easy to find using S-Bahn (train). We went by ourselves and there was no guide. There were a lot of tourists but the pictures seen and taken were still amazing.

    This is a landmark in Berlin, the German capital, created to commemorate victory as the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. If you have time, you must go once in the day and night, the scenery is very different, and the lights at night are so beautiful. The nearby government unit building is also worth visiting. I went there at the end of January this year. Although the weather was a bit cold, the scenery masked everything and it was a great experience.
