Triumphtor, Triumphal gate in northern Potsdam, Germany
The Triumphtor stands at the intersection of Schopenhauerstraße and Weinbergstraße, serving as the entrance portal to the Winzerberg complex in northern Potsdam.
Constructed between 1850 and 1851 under King Friedrich Wilhelm IV of Prussia, the gate design drew inspiration from the arc de triomphe at Forum Boarium in Rome.
The gate features intricate terracotta reliefs depicting warriors, allegorical figures, and artistic themes created by sculptors Hermann Schievelbein and Gustav Bläser.
Visitors can access the monument through public transportation routes in Potsdam, with the structure located near the northern edge of Sanssouci Park.
The gate includes panels representing technological progress, with classical figures symbolizing railways through a winged wheel and telegraph communications of the 1850s.
