The Brandenburg GatePhoto: Ricardo Gomez Angel, unsplash.com
Actually, the gate was created by Frederick William II as a symbol of peace. When the building was completed in 1791, the goddess in the Quadriga was supposed to represent Eirene, the goddess of peace, and the gate was named "Friedenstor" (Gate of Peace). Following his victory in 1806, Napoleon took the quadriga with him to Paris as a sign of triumph. After Napoleon was defeated, the Quadriga was brought back to Berlin. The goddess of peace was switched to Victoria, the Roman goddess of victory, and the famous architect Schinkel was commissioned to transform it into a triumphal arch.
Today, the Brandenburg Gate is world-famous, it is the symbol of Berlin and the city's tourist hotspot and locals are less common here.
