Review:
Once a symbol of a divided Berlin during the Cold War, the Brandenburg Gate now stands as a symbol of peace and unity as one of Berlin’s most important monuments. The Brandenburg Gate offered people in West Berlin an opportunity to see past the no man’s land “death-strip” and into East Berlin by climbing up to the observation platform. That same platform is where Ronald Regan delivered his stern command to Mr. Gorbachev, demanding that he “tear down this wall!” The Brandenburg Gate has stood since 1791 and has undergone many renovations since then, but its neoclassical design has remained through all of the preservation work.
Pariser Platz 1 10117 Berlin
