Schloss und Park Charlottenburg (Charlottenburg Palace and Park)
The golden godess of victory,is one of the most imposing landmarks in the city, and reflects the city's history in remarkable fashion.Originally constructed on the Königsplatz (now the Platz der Republik, in front of the Reichstag) as the national monument to Germany's "Wars of Unification", it was built to plans by Heinrich Strack from 1864–73 to commemorate victory in the Prussian-Danish war. After further victories against Austria and France, it was supplemented with Friedrich Drake's 8.3m-high golden Victoria (also known as Golden Else). During the Third Reich, a fourth column drum was added, bringing the total height to 67m. In 1938/39, the monument was moved to the Großer Stern crossroads in the Tiergarten, as part of the redesigning of the "Capital of the German Reich".Surviving the war without major damage, it was restored in the 1980s
The Brandenburg Gate, Berlin's only remaining city gate, is the true symbol of the city. Because it was situated in the no man's land just behind the wall, it also became symbolic of the division of the city. After the Fall of the Wall, the Gate was reopened on December 22, 1989
