		The position of the Brandenburg Gate was "of its kind undisputedly the most beautiful in the whole world" and therefore he took the Propylaeum on the Acropolis in Athens "as the model", as Carl Gotthard Langhans wrote on his design which was implemented in 1789-91.
		The gate with its angled side wings (the guard houses) originally joined directly onto the city wall, but when the city wall was demolished in 1867-68, pedestrian passages were created in the side halls and column halls were built in front of the plain western front.
		After war damage, the gate was restored in the 1950s, and with the renovated Quadriga (which was again restored in 1990/91), the gate spent the years from 1961 to 1989 in no-man's-land close to the Wall to West Berlin.

	John L Stoddard - Brandenburg Gate, Berlin
		BRANDENBURG GATE, BERLIN - This fine historic portal of Berlin forms the commencement of its most famous street, the "Unter den Linden," or "Under the Lime Trees." Its situation thus is admirable, for the avenue which it adorns is straight as an arrow and a mile in length.
		In 1806 when Napoleon passed beneath this gate as conqueror of Prussia, he ordered that this triumphal chariot should be sent to Paris to adorn one of his own arches of triumph there.
		Beyond this gateway is the famous park of Berlin, the Thiergarten, and every afternoon this portal is the nucleus of much of the display of Berlin's gay and fashionable life, as handsome carriages roll outward to the pleasure-grounds or inward toward the city.
