Germany 2001 Definitive Series: Sights - Brandenburg Gate

Germany · 2001 · 1.10 DM

This definitive stamp features the Brandenburg Gate, an 18th-century neoclassical monument in Berlin. It is one of Germany's most famous landmarks and a symbol of both the country's turbulent history and its eventual reunification. The stamp was part of the long-running 'Sights' definitive series, which showcased various German landmarks.

Issued in 2001, this stamp was one of the last to be denominated in Deutsche Marks before Germany adopted the Euro in 2002. The Brandenburg Gate, once a symbol of a divided city, stood as a powerful emblem of a unified Germany a decade after reunification.
