Brandenburg Gate (Brandenburger Tor in German) marks a very prominent place on the cultural and historical map of Berlin. This beautiful triumphal arch stands at the end of the Unter den Linden Boulevard. It is considered a symbol of the extremely rich history of Germany. Not a part of the original fortifications, it is believed that it was set up to separate the regions. Although, it was constructed as a symbol of peace, it became like a portal for the people on both the sides while Germany was still separated. While in the past, it used to be an important symbol of the separation of Germany into east and West, today it is a powerful symbol of the unification due to its historical significance.
