What Does The Brandenburg Gate Symbolize?

in #photography6 years ago (edited)

Brandenburg Gate

During World War II, all Europe is destroyed by German Nazi movement. The Nazis make the Brandenburg Gate a symbol. Damaged by air attacks and artillery fires, the door is repaired several times. At the end of the war, Germany is divided into "East" and "West", and the gate is not used by both sides. On 22 December 1989, the door was opened to the public and the door symbolized the unification after the walls were broken and reunification in Germany.

The construction of the gate is based on the German empire period. The construction of the gate was begun in 1788. The building was opened on August 6, 1791, for the parade of the royal family. It has architectural features that will amaze you with its columns and height. Carl Gotthard Langhans and Johann Gottfried Schadow were involved in the construction of the gate. The main building has 5 spaces between the gates made on 12 plumes. During the royal period, the people had the right to cross only the first two gates. The central gate belongs to the royal family.

In 1793, the sculptor Johann Gottfried Schadow added a horse carriage carrying a goddess of four quadriga-style gates to the door. In one hand the goddess carries icons of "Eagle" and "Cross", symbols of Germany and Christianity. The statue located at the very center of the door and at the very top is so magnificent that Napoleon took his place from his place when he reached the city with victory in 1806 and carried it to Paris. In 1814, when the Prussian General Napoleon was reinstated, the work was relocated to its former location and an "iron cross" was added instead of the "olive grove" in the returned work.
