Germany: Brandenburger Tor, Rathaus und Neptunbrunnen, Alexanderplatz mit Fernsehturm

Few days ago, I received a card from Taiwan and Germany.


This card from Germany features a multi-view from the city of Berlin.
<Postcrossing ID: DE-4811709>

Left top corner: Brandenburg Gate (Brandenburger Tor) is an 18th-century neoclassical triumphal arch in Berlin, and also one of the best known landmarks of Germany. Located in the western part of the city centre of Berlin, it was built on the site of a former city gate that marked the start of the road from Berlin to the town of Brandenburg an der Havel.

Left bottom corner: Rotes Rathaus und Neptunbrunnen (Rotes Rathaus and Neptune Fountain)
The Rotes Rathaus, also called the Red City Hall, is the town hall of Berlin, located in the Mitte district. It is home to the governing mayor and the government of the Federal State of Berlin. The name of the landmark building dates from the facade design with red clinker bricks. As for the Neptune Fountain also located in Berlin, its center features the Roman god Neptune, with the four women surrounding him representing the four main rivers of Prussia at the time the fountain was constructed.

Right: Alexanderplatz
It is a large public square and transport hub in the central Mitte district of Berlin.

Sorry that I'm not an expert in German landmarks.

Hope you liked these cards
