The Berlin Customs Wall with its eighteen gates
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. The gate is the monumental entry to Unter den Linden, a boulevard of linden trees which led directly to the royal City Palace of the Prussian monarchs. One block to the north stands the Reichstag building, which houses the German parliament ( Bundestag). It is located in the western part of the city centre of Berlin within Mitte, at the junction of Unter den Linden and Ebertstraße, immediately west of the Pariser Platz. One of the best-known landmarks of Germany, it was built on the site of a former city gate that marked the start of the road from Berlin to the town of Brandenburg an der Havel, which used to be the capital of the Margraviate of Brandenburg. The Brandenburg Gate ( German: Brandenburger Tor ( listen)) is an 18th-century neoclassical monument in Berlin, built on the orders of Prussian king Frederick William II after restoring the Orangist power by suppressing the Dutch popular unrest. It was well known for its "glittering city spires, its elegant orbital habitats, its soaring cloud forests, and its five million lakes." However, after the Battle of Brandenburg Tor, its forests and cities were left to burn unchecked. Brandenburg Tor remains a major center of Magog activity.
