About this motif
From 1961 to 1989 the Brandenburg Gate stood in the restricted zone on the border between East and West Berlin. For many people it became the symbol of the divided city during that time.
König's large etching "Brandenburg Gate with Wall" shows the gate behind the Wall, with a sign reading "Achtung! You are now leaving the British Sector" in front and a watchtower on the right. A subject of contemporary history in a 12 x 16 cm format, black and white or hand-coloured, framed on request.
