Brandenburger Tor
(Pass by)
The Brandenburg Gate made of sandstone is one of the largest and most beautiful creations of German classicism. It was created between 1788 and 1791 based on designs by Carl Gotthard Langhans the Elder, who was heavily based on the Propylaea of the Athens Acropolis. King Friedrich Wilhelm II had previously ordered the construction of the Brandenburg Gate, as he was looking for a worthy architectural finish for the boulevard Unter den Linden.
