"To believe what's true, to sense what's beautiful, and also to what's good, hereby the nature finds reason for a life in reason." (Johann Gottfried Herder, 18th hundred years German philosopher and poet) In 2012, the German capital recorded a staggering 700,000 people at its CSD Parade, with about 500,000 which makes it all the way to the end of the joyous march, which is thought to have been the biggest and most well-attended pleasure parade of the entire year. Berlin's mayor, Klaus Wowereit, among the first openly gay politicians in Germany, well-known for uttering the now locally iconic expression, "Ich bin schwul, und das ist auch gut so (I'm gay, and that is clearly a positive thing)", inaugurated the splendid march. Elaborately embellished floats transporting both muscular men in flamboyant period outfits and fabulous queens in their best lace-fronts and move, wield rainbow flags and dance to techno music as they lead the great party from the Kreuzberg Area to the Pariser Platz. As the people of the LGBT community, local and from out of town, ornamented by their friends, family, and allies, grooved into the night time, the Brandenburg Gate was changed into a colossal rainbow flag. Other than culture and love and equality, the Brandenburg Gate is also where in fact the locals rejoice triumphant victories and honor their modern-day heroes, i.e. their sport stars. In mid-July of 2014, a throng of 400,000 ecstatic Germans flooded the roadways (a lot of whom possessed camped out at the website overnight), starting a "fan mile" that comes from the fabled gate. It was here that they welcomed the FIFA World Glass champions with German flags, banners, capes, leis in black, red, and platinum, and confetti poppers galore. The black Mercedes truck moving the players, instructors, and crew people could barely move through the swarm of fans. To the locals today, the Brandenburg Gate, understandably one of the country's top places of interest, is synonymous with spectacle, felicity, and victorious jubilation, but this monument has seen its fair show of dark times over the years. The Brandenburger Tor, which has now watched over the advancement of modern Berlin for more than two generations, has witnessed as much torment, heartache, and devastation as it offers love and success. Some would say this is just what makes the renowned gate even more significant, and the city's quest to preserve in its full glory even more worthwhile. The Brandenburg Gate: The History and Legacy of Berlin's Famous Landmark chronicles the exceptional history of 1 of Germany's most well-known sites. You will learn about the Brandenburg Gate like never before.
