The Charlottenburger Tor is a monument on the Straße des 17. Juni and was built between 1907 and 1908. The building ensemble consisting of monumental colonnades, candelabra and groups of figures forms the counterpart to the Brandenburg Gate.
Most recently, the colonnades with the preserved figures of King Frederick I and Queen Sophie Charlotte were renovated in 2004–2007 and the destroyed candelabra rebuilt in 2007–2010. The crowning groups of horses and deer have not yet been restored.

The Charlottenburg Gate is located on the border of the Berlin districts of Charlottenburg and Tiergarten on Straße des 17. Juni between Ernst-Reuter-Platz and the Siegessäule.
It was built in 1907 and 1908.
The city of Charlottenburg at the time had a higher tax income than Berlin and therefore proudly built its own gate in front of the Brandenburg Gate.
Two 5 m high bronze sculptures are attached to the outside of the gate.
They show Friedrich I and Sophie Charlotte.
On each side of the street, a richly decorated candelabra, around 22 m high, was set up to hold the arc lamps.
In April 2010, the restoration of the two almost 22 m high candelabra on the west side of the Charlottenburg Bridge, each with eight arc lamps, was completed.
The bronze lighting fixtures have a diameter of 4.50 m and weigh one ton each.
