Berlin Victory Column Postcard
The Berlin Victory Column (Siegessäule)
The Berlin Victory Column, known as "Siegessäule" in German, is an iconic monument situated in the heart of Berlin, Germany. It was originally erected to commemorate the military victories of the Kingdom of Prussia in the 19th-century wars against Denmark, Austria, and France. Designed by Heinrich Strack and completed in 1873, the Victory Column originally stood in front of the Reichstag building. The monument is crowned with a bronze sculpture of Victoria, the Roman goddess of victory, designed by Friedrich Drake.
The Berlin Victory Column underwent further historical significance during the 20th century, especially during the Cold War. The monument stood near the Berlin Wall, becoming a symbol of the division between East and West Berlin. Following the reunification of Germany in 1990, the Victory Column regained its position as a symbol of national unity. Over the years, the monument has undergone renovations and restorations, ensuring its preservation as a cultural and historical landmark. Visitors can climb to the top of the Victory Column for panoramic views of Berlin, making it a popular destination for both locals and tourists alike.
In recent years, the Berlin Victory Column has become associated with events and celebrations, including the city's annual New Year's Eve fireworks display. Its historical significance, combined with its strategic location and architectural splendour, continues to make it a focal point in Berlin, symbolising both the military victories of the past and the reunification and unity of Germany in the present day.

Bought 10 Shakespeare quotes postcards and have framed them individually and placed them around the house Love them, some are funny and some are deep and meaningful! Lovely background on some, excellent printed words. A couple of plain white cards with black print - very stricking

My order was probably an awkward one! I asked for a range of different fine-art prints, in postcard size. It was all freshly printed, delivered quickly and at a very reasonable price. Best quality matt finish I've seen on a fine-art print.
