1. The Brandenburg Gate made of sandstone is one of the largest and most beautiful creations of German classicism. It was built in the years 1788 to 1791 based on designs by Carl Gotthard Langhans the Elder, who was strongly oriented towards the propylaea of the Athens Acropolis. King Friedrich Wilhelm II had previously ordered the construction of the Brandenburg Gate because he was looking for a worthy architectural conclusion for the boulevard Unter den Linden.

This gives the large building an astonishing transparency and lightness. The two side wings, whose floor plans resemble a comb, appear completely different. The offices are grouped around atriums that are completely glazed. The long side walls with their alternation of windowless concrete walls and large glass surfaces appear compact and defiant.
