Brandenburger Tor

Probably Berlin's if not Germany's most well-known landmark. The Brandenburg Gate is an 18th-century neoclassical monument. Located in Berlin's Mitte district and the entry to the boulevard "Unter den Linden". During Germany's separation, the gate was not accessible as it was directly next to the Berlin Wall but it was featured prominently during the break down of the wall in 1989. War damages were restored afterward between 2000 - 2002 and the Brandenburg Gate nowadays is again the site for many historical events and a symbol of European unity and peace.
