Vintage Berlin Unter Den Linden, Brandenburg gate Postcard
From our poster with the same name. Super high resolution scan (posters up to any size) from a completely retouched and restored 1900s postcard. Unter den Linden ("under the linden trees") is a boulevard in the Mitte district of Berlin, the capital of Germany. It is named for its linden (lime in British English) trees that line the grassed pedestrian mall between two carriageways. Unter den Linden runs the east–west from the site of the Stadtschloss royal palace at the Lustgarten park, where the demolished Palast der Republik once stood, to Pariser Platz and Brandenburg Gate. The Brandenburg Gate (German: Brandenburger Tor) is an 18th-century neoclassical triumphal arch in Berlin, one of the best-known landmarks of Germany. When the Revolutions of 1989 occurred and the Wall fell, the gate symbolized freedom and the desire to unify the city of Berlin. Thousands of people gathered at the Wall to celebrate its fall on 9 November 1989. On 22 December 1989, the Brandenburg Gate border crossing was reopened when Helmut Kohl, the West German chancellor, walked through to be greeted by Hans Modrow, the East German prime minister. Demolition of the rest of the Wall around the area took place the following year.
