Brandenburg Gate
The Brandenburg Gate is a monument in Berlin that was built by Frederick William II in the 18th century. It was originally located on the site of a former city gate.
It is in the western part of Berlin, close to Mitte, and is at the intersection of Ebertstrae and Unter den Linden. The main intersection between the Pariser Platz and the Reichstag building is the gate.
The Brandenburg Gate was often a site of major historical events throughout its existence. Today, it is considered a symbol of European unity and peace.

The Reichstag was built to house the Imperial Diet, which was the German Empire's political body. It was opened in 1894, and it remained there until 1933 when it was destroyed by fire. Following the Second World War, it was badly damaged. It was then completely restored in 1999.

The Holocaust Memorial - Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe
In 1999, a memorial site was established for the murdered Jews of Europe. Architect Peter Eisenman designed the site.
For the Memorial, Eisenman placed over 2711 concrete slabs on a site that measured 19,000 square meters. Its uneven concrete floor gives visitors a moment of uncertainty or even giddiness. Its openness and abstractness allow one to confront the topic in their own personal way.
