   The Brandenburg Gate is one of Berlin's most important monuments – a landmark and symbol all in one with over two hundred years of history. A former symbol of the divided city, it drew visitors who used to climb an observation platform in order to get a glimpse of the world behind the Iron Curtain, on the other side of the barren "death-strip" which separated East from West Berlin.

The themes continued into Schadow’s sculptures: most noticeably, the quadriga that crowns the Gate. Originally, this bronze statue was a depiction of Eirene, the goddess.
