It is a cultural monument, appreciated by both tourists and citizens. At New Year's Eve, the biggest street party in Europe is held on the Straße des 17. Juni, from the Victory Column to the Brandenburg Gate. It is a place where people come together to show collective discontent, such as the anti-racism demonstration in January 2015 after several mosques in Europe were attacked. Also after the killing of twelve staff members of the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in Paris, people gathered at the gate to show their sympathy. In this way, the gate remains a powerful symbol of international solidarity and cultural diplomacy. |
