An important architectural monument of Berlin with special symbolic significance. In 1871 a solemn procession of Prussian regiments passed through the gates, which marked the proclamation of the German Empire. In 1933, the famous Nazi torchlight procession took place here and the "Millennium Reich" was proclaimed. After World War II, the Brandenburg Gate became the border of the division of Germany into West and East.
Address:
Pariser Platz, Berlin
