Listen to the stunning sound of the metropolis as you are surrounded by giant screens and
experience historical milestones in a unique timescape show. Marvel, mourn, and laugh with the
city the world is watching. THE GATE Berlin – the new Brandenburg Gate experience, located only

The New Brandenburg Gate Experience
THE GATE Berlin – For Everyone from Everywhere
Embark on a time travel from 1650 to today – from the construction of the Brandenburg Gate,
the seizure and return of the Quadriga, and the establishment of the German Empire to the age
of rapid industrialization, the outbreak of World War I, and the Roaring Twenties. See the city
become the capital of the Third Reich and the center of nightmarish destruction, followed
by a period of 40 years in which Berlin became the symbol of a world divided into two blocs.
Witness how mass protests and a peaceful revolution lead to the Fall of the Wall and a new start
for the entire country. Feel the pumping bass of 1990s techno music at the Love Parade and
join the German National Football Team as it celebrates its victory at the Brandenburg Gate.
The multimedia show is suitable for all visitors, regardless of their language or cultural background.
THE GATE Berlin is the key to the history of a city that has seen it all and, at the same time,
has it all ahead of it.
THE GATE Berlin – For Time Travelers
Take a visually stunning and breathtaking trip through history right where it all happened –
the Brandenburg Gate. THE GATE Berlin will make you want to learn more!
THE GATE Berlin – Take Your Time
Watch the 20-minute multimedia show as often as your time allows. The adjacent Treasure
Chamber displays a collection of historical pictures documenting the dramatic changes Pariser
Platz has gone through over the centuries.
THE GATE Berlin – Meet the Goddess
Meet Nike, the goddess of victory. As the one steering the Quadriga, she has been sitting atop
the Brandenburg Gate since 1793 and knows Pariser Platz like no one else. Our Treasure Chamber
provides the opportunity to contemplate the world‘s only exact replica of the Nike sculpture.
THE GATE Berlin – Take a Break
THE GATE Berlin – Innovation Meets History
Make sure to visit the exhibition‘s café that offers a breathtaking view of the Brandenburg Gate.
Experience historical milestones as you are surrounded by 87 high-tech screens.
180 million pixels and a 36-channel sound system provide an experience for all the senses.
THE GATE Berlin tells history with the technology of tomorrow.
