The Brandenburg Gate is an important monument in Berlin's backdrop scenery and is one of the top 10 in the city of Berlin. In the year 2002 it could finally be solemnly revealed again. The gate was built of sandstone and due to the environmental exposure and neglect it was already badly damaged. For almost two years, the Brandenburg Gate was veiled, as it also had to be restored. Unfortunately, the Quadriga was so badly damaged by the unification celebrations and New Year's Eve 1989/90 that it had to be restored two years later. Only on December 22, 1989, the Brandenburg Gate was opened by cheers of more than 100,000 people. 
Since the gate is in the former restricted area, it could not be visited for a long time. Also the Quadriga was damaged too much and was replaced by a copy. Due to the Second World War, the Brandenburg Gate was heavily damaged and much had to be reconstructed. Luckily, it was brought back eight years later by the victory of the Alliance. In 1806, Napoleon stole the Quadriga once. In 1793 the Quadriga was put on top of the gate. From 1788 to 1791 it was built according to the design of Carl Gotthard Langhans. King Frederick William II had commissioned the construction of the Brandenburg Gate, as a worthy conclusion to the magnificent avenue "Unter den Linden".
