Germany - Berlin - Brandenburg Gate

Wide landscape and architecture of the Brandenburg Gate (Brandenburger Tor) in Berlin Mitte. The structure is a former city gate, rebuilt in the late 18th century as a neoclassical triumphal arch, and now one of the most well-known landmarks of Germany. It is located west of the city centre of Berlin at the junction of Unter den Linden and Ebertstraße, immediately west of the Pariser Platz. When the Nazis ascended to power they used the Gate as a party symbol. The Gate only just survived World War II and was one of the damaged structures still standing in the Pariser Platz ruins in 1945 alongside the nearby Reichstag.
