Brandenburg Gate is a neoclassical sandstone building, designed by Longhans, which imitates the style of the colonnade of the Acropolis in Athens, Greece. The Brandenburg Gate is 26 metres high, 65.5 metres wide and 11 metres deep. It is supported by 12 Dorick pillars 15 metres high and 1.75 metres in diameter at the bottom. There are six Ioni pillars carved on both sides. The front and rear pillars are walls, which divide the gate building into five gates. The middle passageway is a little wide. It was designed for members of the royal family until William II 1918, the last emperor of the German Empire. Before the abdication of the throne in 1989, only members of the royal family and guests invited by the king were allowed to enter and exit through the middle passage of the Brandenburg Gate. The inner wall of the gate depicts in relief the greatest heroes in Roman mythology, Hercules, Mars, and Minova, the goddess of wisdom, artists and craftsmen. At the top of the Brandenburg Gate is a bronze sculpture of the goddess of victory (Nicholas in Greek mythology, Victoria in Roman mythology). The goddess opens her wings and drives a four-horse two-wheeled chariot facing the eastern city of Berlin. She holds a scepter with an oak wreath in her right hand and an iron cross in the wreath. On the wreath stands a winged eagle. Eagles, Eagles wear Prussian crowns. The sculpture symbolizes the victory of war and is the work of Prussian sculptor Shadow.

    The Brandenburg Gate, because of its special status in Berlin and even Germany, has become the venue for many celebrations in Germany. Every December 31, the open-air New Year's Eve party is held, and the square and the streets are crowded with people, and the stage is set up to hold a grand live performance to cheer, and people welcome the New Year together during the fireworks tour at midnight.

    The Brandenburg Gate is a neoclassical-style sandstone building modeled on the gates of the Acropolis. It is supported by 12 pillars, with 6 on each side of the east and west, and the front and rear columns are walls. The gate building is separated into 5 gates. The passage in the middle is slightly wider. It is designed for royal members. Earlier, only the royal family and guests invited by the royal family can pass.

    Easy to find using S-Bahn (train). We went by ourselves and there was no guide. There were a lot of tourists but the pictures seen and taken were still amazing.

    This is a landmark in Berlin, the German capital, created to commemorate victory as the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. If you have time, you must go once in the day and night, the scenery is very different, and the lights at night are so beautiful. The nearby government unit building is also worth visiting. I went there at the end of January this year. Although the weather was a bit cold, the scenery masked everything and it was a great experience.
