At Brandenburg Gate border crossing, restored in 1990/91. The quadriga atop Brandenburg Gate suffered severe damage during festivities on New Year's Eve 1989/90 and the Iron Cross and Eagle were reinstalled as part of the restoration process. During the GDR era, the statue of Victoria, the winged godess of victory, held a staff with an oak leaf wreath in her hand.
