Berlin Gate, Heritage gate in Potsdam, Germany
The Berlin Gate features different architectural styles on its two sides, with Corinthian columns and decorative sculptures adorning the outer facade.
Built in 1753 under Frederick the Great's supervision, the gate formed part of Potsdam's defensive wall system with four other entrance points.
The gate represents the architectural preferences of 18th-century Prussia, combining classical Roman elements with local German building traditions.
Only the right wing section of the original gate structure remains visible today, following substantial modifications during the 1952 street expansion.
The gate marks the historical boundary between Potsdam's urban center and the road leading toward Berlin, serving as a customs checkpoint.
