The Brandenburg Gate, pictured in 1985 during the Cold War era when the Berlin Wall divided the city, Germany and Europe. The Wall was torn down in 1989 and the two German states reunified officially in 1992.
Original caption: As was the case in much of Berlin, many of the buildings around Potsdamer Platz were turned to rubble by air raids and heavy artillery bombardment during the last years of World War II. Potsdamer was then spilt into sections following the dividing of Berlin by the Allies and the Soviets. Since the fall of the Berlin Wall it has been reborn into a center of business and commerce. The glass tent hovers above the Sony Center. --- Image by © Peter Ginter/Science Faction/Corbis

1794, Berlin, Germany --- The Quadriga of Victory crowns the Brandenburg Gate, Berlin's trademark and a monument to the Germany's tumultuous yet stoic history. The Quadriga depicts the goddess of victory commanding a chariot drawn by four horses marching peace into the city. In 1806 Napoleon marched triumphantly into Berlin and carried the Quadriga away with him to Paris as a spoil of war. It was returned to the city in 1814, after the victorious conclusion of the wars of liberation. | Located in: Brandenburg Gate. --- Image by © Jerome Levitch/Corbis
