Enjoy these incredible photos of Berlin.

The Brandenburg Gate is one of Berlin’s best known landmarks.  This triumphal arch was built in the 18th century.  During the division of Berlin in the cold war, the Brandenburg Gate was inaccessible to those in the west being cordoned off by the Berlin Wall.  With the fall of the wall in 1989, thousands of west and east Berliners celebrated at the Brandenburg Gate.

Another very well known landmark is the Reichstag building which was completed in 1894.  The Reichstag has held the legislative body of Germany.  The building caught fire in mysterious circumstances in 1933.  This gave pretext for the Nazis to suspend many rights in Germany.  During the cold war, this building resided within the west, but it was within feet of the Berlin Wall.
