Victory Column Berlin's awe-inspiring victory column

Straße des 17 Juni am Großen Stern Berlin, Berlin 10557 +49 (0)30 391 2961

Familiar to many from Wim Wenders' 1987 film "Wings of Desire," the view from the top of the 69 metre-high Victory Column is well worth the 285-step climb! Built in 1873 to commemorate Prussian military victories against Denmark, Austria and France, the Victory Column originally stood in front of the Reichstag, but was moved to its current location in the middle of the Tiergarten by the Nazi regime in 1938. The golden statue of the Goddess Victory can be seen from all over the city and is one of Berlin's most eye-catching landmarks. Since 1995, the Victory Column has been the epicentre of Berlin's annual Love Parade, when hundreds of thousands of ravers gather in the Tiergarten to party in the name of love.
