The Brandenburg Gate is one of the most famous sights of the German capital and is one of the most beautiful buildings of classicism. Therefore, it is an absolute must for any tourist visit. In addition, it is a symbol of German unity, since it was built after the wall in the restricted area and was accessible neither for Westerners nor for Easterners. The Brandenburg Gate was built by order of King Frederick William the Second.

The quadriga as a symbol for peace coming to the city of Berlin

When you look at the gate, especially the quadriga stands out, which was mounted on the gate in 1793. It shows a chariot with two wheels, which is pulled by four horses running side by side. The goddess of victory Victoria holds the reins in her hand, so the quadriga symbolizes the peace coming to the city of Berlin.
