Probably the best known symbol of Germany, Brandenburger Tor has symbolized both peace and war, division and unity.
Originally, the Brandenburger Tor was one of many city gates, and the first one modelled after classical (Greek) architectural examples. It was first constructed in the end of the 18th century, and it was crowned by the Quadriga, a chariot with four horses and Victoria, goddess of victory and peace. When Napoleon defeated the Prussian army, he marched through the gate and took the Quadriga to Paris. The Quadriga and the Brandenburger Tor were transformed to symbols of national unity and independence.
