Berlin owes the Brandenburg Gate to Friedrich Wilhelm II von Hohenzollern, the king of Prussia, who had commissioned the large sandstone gate as a dignified conclusion of the magnificent boulevard Unter den Linden. It was built between 1788 and 1791 based on the neoclassical project by Carl Gotthard Langhans, who was strongly inspired by the Propylaea of the Athenian Acropolis (437-432).
