Day 15 – The Brandenburg Gate
Today we went to see the Brandenburg gate. Which has a rather interesting history. The Gate was constructed in 1788 as a gate way to the avenue behind that stretches off into the distance. There is a statue on top of the Greek goddess of victory (Nix) which was taken from Paris in the 1800s by Napoleon as a symbol of victory. During the cold war it was a symbol of the devision between east and west Berlin. Now days it is just a tourists attraction but you know still it looks nice. After that we went to one of the German government buildings which at one point was used as the Nazi HQ. We were however not awed inside or to near it so we left quickly and went home.
