Brandenburger Gate
The quadriga of victory crowning the gate was originally a symbol of peace. During Berlin's occupation by France, Napoleon ordered the quadriga to be taken to Paris. After the Battle of Waterloo, it was triumphantly taken back to Berlin, and it was turned into a symbol of victory.
