If you visit Pariser Platz at the Brandenburg Gate today, you will soon notice that a completely different sense of time arises in this place, as if the place has been cut out of time and space. One obviously enters a very special, different world here.

The Brandenburg Gate was realized at the end of the 18th century as the first classicist building in Berlin. The architect Gottfried Carl Langhans used the Propylaea, the entrance gate to the Acropolis in Athens, as a reference. So the gate is oriented to a sacred district and according to the ancient worldview of the Greeks it is a portal to the city of gods.

The gate is adorned with a quadriga led by the goddess of victory, Victoria, which heads east into the rising sun and faces the center of the city. It carries the insignia of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation (eagle and cross) and is said to bring peace to the city and the empire. It is intended as a gate of peace, which is aimed at its own population with its message and its impulse and does not promote the conquest of distant regions.

 

This is underlined and strengthened by the many reliefs depicting the heroic deeds of Hercules, in which he defeated discord, envy and other monsters, for example, or which also depict the goddesses of peace, joy and abundance.

The square and gate lie on the strongest Leyline in Berlin, which was created in the 17th century by Prince Johann Moritz von Nassau-Siegen, Lord Master of the Order of St. John, as a central, energetic element of the city and which supplies the urban fabric with subtle energy.

 

Various forces radiating in from the cosmos and out from the ground make this place one of the most powerful, if not the most powerful place in Berlin, which is building up more and more as an omphalos, as the energetic center of the system. It not only appears as the center of Berlin and as a place of identification for the reunited Germany, but also as a center of Europe, which thoroughly promotes a peaceful coexistence of East and West.

The countries of the allies, which gathered all their embassies around this square, seemed to have been aware of this very special, even sacred, power of the place for a long time. It is a place of peace, confidence and great wisdom that will shape Berlin’s future task.
