It is the main symbol of the Berlin gate and the symbol of the unification of West Berlin and East Berlin. Built in the 18th century as the entrance gate to the city of Brandenburg an der Havel, or better known as the city of Brandenburg. Located in the westernmost city of Berlin, this gate has a long history since it was founded, especially in the political history of this country.

In German it means Holsten’s gate. A large gate made of red brick with a Gothic design in the city of Lubeck, Germany. Holstentor is not just a gate, it’s actually a fortress.
Founded in 1464, this fort originally served as a city gate, with two circular towers on the north and south with archaic gates. The building now functions as a museum to preserve the city’s history and has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987.
Oktoberfest
Are you a beer fan? Come to Munich in October, and you’ll be content for two weeks of beer. Usually this festival is held for sixteen days in an area called Theresienwiese (d’Wiesn). the opening of the festival was marked by the opening of a barrel of beer by the Mayor of Munich saying “O’zapft is!” (Bavarian for “Opened!”).
During the festival, the beer served is different from the usual beer. The taste is stronger, the color is more intense, and served in a large glass (1 glass = 1 liter). This annual event is held in a large tent with wooden tables and chairs like an old bar, and only local brewers are allowed to serve beer at this event.
