The Brandenburg gate was one of eigtheen city gates, built in 1788-1791 by Carl Gotthard Langhans, based on the propylaeum of the Acropolis (Athens) with 6 doric columns in both sides. In 1794 the gate was crowned with the Quadriga, designed by Johann Gottfried Schadow in cast bronze, showing the Goddess of Victory in her four horse chariot - quadriga.
