 HolidayCity Flash - The Brandenburg Gate
It was reasonable for Friedrich Wilhelm II to expect it to be a peaceful memorial, and nothing else, when in 1791 he commissioned Karl Gotthard Langhans to build the Brandenburg Tor as part of his grand city design.
The Brandenburg Tor, or Gate, was meant to be exactly that — one of the monumental entryways into Berlin in front of Pariser Platz square, the magnificent terminus to an elegant boulevard of linden trees known as the Unter der Linden, which led directly to the royal palace.
Langhans based his design on the Propylea, the gateway to the Acropolis in Athens, in keeping with a city then admiring the values of classical civilisation.

 Waltraud Maierhofer
According to contemporary reports Wilhelmine was knowledgeable in history, geography, classical and modern literature, was very interested in art, and conversed comfortably in all topics of general interest.
She was an early patron of the neoclassical architect Karl Gotthard Langhans who brought Neoclassicism to Berlin, and many of the ideas for the landscaping and architecture of the Pfaueninsel with its marble palace were hers, and she was also responsible for the neoclassical interior decoration of the palais Unter den Linden.
Wilhelmine confesses‚ high treason and murder: she made all the decisions at the Prussian court and did everything to increase her own power, she forbid books with enlightened, egalitarian, or liberal ideas, she betrayed the king's secrets to the courts in Vienna and London, she even murdered her rival, Countess Ingenheim.
