Siegessaule

Siegessaule, or the Victory Column, was built to commemorate 19th-century Prussian military victories. The Victory Column, one of the major tourist attractions to the city of Berlin, was moved to its present location in 1938.

The column is accessible to pedestrians through four tunnels, built in 1941 to plans by Albert Speer who wanted to remake Berlin. Via a steep spiral staircase of 285 steps one can get to the top of the Victory Column, featured in Wim Wenders' film Wings of Desire as a place where angels congregate.
