Description
The Brandenburg Gate (Brandenburger Tor in German) is an 18th-century neoclassical monument in Berlin, built on the orders of Prussian king Frederick William II. Throughout its existence, the Brandenburg Gate was often a site for major historical events and is today considered not only as a symbol of the tumultuous histories of Germany and Europe, but also of European unity and peace.
It was designed by Carl Gotthard Langhans, based on the Propylaea, the gateway to the Acropolis in Athens, Greece, and built between 1788 and 1791. Atop the gate is a sculpture by Johann Gottfried Schadow of a quadriga - a chariot drawn by four horses - driven by Victoria, the Roman goddess of victory (from Wikipedia).
This model carries some of the original elements from when MiniWorld3D founder, Dany Sánchez, modeled it back in 2014. It has since been updated with a bit more detail and eliminating overhangs.
MiniWorld3D is happy to bring this model to life as a homage to all the people of Berlin and Germany. All our models are made from scratch by hand and brain, please give credit to all authors.
