The Victory column (Siegessäule) is next to Brandenburg Gate, German Parliament, Television Tower and Berlin Cathedral one of the most significant monuments in Berlin. It was originally located at the Königsplatz (present-day Platz der Republik), the square in front of the Reichstag. It was moved to its current location in 1938 by Nazi government. Now, it stands at the Grosser Stern, in the middle of Tiergarten (the large park, previous Royal hunting estate), midway along the Strasse des 17. Juni. It is surrounded by a street circle with heavy traffic, so in 1941 four tunnels were designed by Johannes Huntenmueller so pedestrians can reach the column safely.

The Victory column was built from 1864 to 1873 to commemorate the Prussian victory in the Prusso–Danish war in 1864 (it was inaugurated on 2 September 1873 by the Kaiser Wilhelm I). It was designed by Johann Heinrich Stack. Its original height was 50,66 meters but it was enlarged when it was relocated and now it is 66,89 meters high.

Hi Tsilla,

Great capture of the Victory Tower with great sharpness and from a nice POV, my friend!
The colors are superb. The cloudy sky gives nice mood into the capture.

Well seen!

Hi Tsilla...

Another excellent shot from Berlin...
Splendid view of Autumn and lovely monument.
Beautiful work, contrast against the blurred b/g sky.
Lovely colors, great sharpness and details.
Congratulation,
George

Hello Tsilla,
This is professionally executed. I do like the low pov, the slight diagonal from the mid road, and the uniformly lined trees depicting autumn. Better than the best postcard one could buy. I don't frame my photos but your framing is elegant and classic looking. regards
Danilo
