A view along Straße des 17. Juni with Brandenburg Gate (surrounded by scaffolding) at the far end. The Quadriga atop Brandenburg Gate suffered severe damage during festivities on New Year's Eve 1989/90 and underwent restoration in 1990/1991, when the Iron Cross and Eagle were reinstalled. During the GDR era, the statue of Victoria, the winged godess of victory, held a staff with an oak leaf wreath in her hand.
