The Brandenburg Gate

The Brandenburg Gate is not only one of Berlin's most famous landmarks, but also a symbol of freedom, unity and Germany's eventful history. Located directly on Pariser Platz, the imposing building attracts people from all over the world and is an essential part of any visit to Berlin.

History that moves

Built in 1791, the Brandenburg Gate originally served as a city gate and triumphal arch. Over the centuries, it has witnessed numerous historical events: from Napoleon's invasion and the Nazi era to the division and reunification of Germany. During the Cold War, it marked the border between East and West Berlin - directly on the death strip of the Berlin Wall.

Today, the Brandenburg Gate stands as a symbol of reunification and peaceful coexistence - a place that offers history at your fingertips.

The Brandenburg Gate is more than just a historical monument. It is a lively meeting place, surrounded by impressive sights such as the Reichstag, the Street Unter den Linden and the Holocaust Memorial. A walk through this quarter brings history to life and offers numerous opportunities for photo opportunities, reflection and conversation.
