The Brandenburg Gate is the main symbol of the city. Tourist cars stop here, there is a place to walk, but it's better to go here when the greenery blooms , everything is beautiful

We were with my wife in mid-January 2024. We saw this triumphant building in the center of Berlin. Very beautiful. The main meaning and idea of these gates was that the troops would solemnly return to the city with victory and pass through them.

The Brandenburg Gate is an exact copy of the Propylaea, which was located in Athens. The main passage, a passage formed by porticos and columns arranged symmetrically to the axis of movement. Most of the propylae in ancient times were solemnly arranged entrances or entrances to sections of temples or administrative buildings, and were adjacent to a fence or fortress wall. The initiative to erect the Brandenburg City Gate belonged to Frederick William II of Prussia, who wanted to refine the approach to the Unter den Linden Boulevard. The construction project was developed by Karl Gottgard Langgans, who was inspired by the Propylaea of the Athenian Acropolis. Johann Gottfried Shadow created the most famous decoration for the building — the Quadriga. In front of the gate, the beautiful Paris Square is the "front" part of Berlin. Well, as it should be, administrative buildings are adjacent, including the embassies of the United States, Great Britain and the Russian Federation, and there are also numerous souvenir shops and shops. After the end of World War II, Germany was divided between the USSR, Great Britain, the USA and France. In 1949, the Allies united their occupation zones into a single Federal Republic of Germany. In response, the USSR creates a German Democratic Republic on the territory under its control. The Brandenburg Gate was one of the symbols of the division of the world into East and West, a very symbolic place of course. From the Brandenburg Gate begins the boulevard Unter den Linden, or as the locals call it "Linden Street", and now the Tiergarten Park also stretches, but that's another story.

"We will receive prisoners at the Brandenburg Gate. We guarantee life to everyone."There are no prisoners anymore, but the columns are still chipped...a reminder of the past.Everything is majestic and monumental, but it feels cold.

There's not much to see. Narva or Moscow gates in St. Petersburg are more interesting.
