Charlottenburg Gate, City gate in Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf, Germany.

The Charlottenburg Gate features two symmetrical porticoes made of tuff stone and bronze statues of King Frederick I and Sophia Charlotte of Hanover.

The gate was built in 1908 by architect Bernhard Schaede to replace two customs houses designed by Friedrich August Stüler in 1856.

The structure represents the architectural ambitions of early 20th century Berlin, serving as a ceremonial entrance to the Charlottenburg district.

Visitors can access a small exhibition about the gate's history on Saturday afternoons through a local historical society.

The gate underwent modifications in 1937 to accommodate Nazi plans for Germania, including road widening and relocation of Egyptian Revival candelabra.
