There are several pedestrian tunnels that lead to the central square. These tunnels can be reached via 4 gate houses, which are on the edges of the square. The tunnels are well lit and friendly, sometimes a musician uses the acoustics and plays his music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The victory column has a total height of 66.89 meters. A lookout platform is located at the height of 50.66 meters. Anyone who wants to use this platform should be physically fit for over 285 steps one needs to climb to have a really great view over the Great Tiergarten, the Potsdamer Platz, the Brandenburg Gate and the neighbouring city areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The column carries the bronze sculpture of Victoria. It is 8.30 m high and weighs about 35 tonnes. In the Berlin vernacular, this figure is called Goldelse, a name it got because of its gold plating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The all-round relief band is particularly beautiful. It consists of 4 bronze depictions of the unification wars and the troop deployment in Berlin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/05\/reliefumlauf.jpg\" alt=\"Victory column on the Gro\u00dfe Stern in Berlin - Siegess\u00e4ule\" data-id=\"9241\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/05\/reliefumlauf.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/germany\/berlin\/siegessaule-victory-column\/attachment\/reliefumlauf-2\/\" class=\"wp-image-9241\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/05\/reliefumlauf.jpg 800w, https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/05\/reliefumlauf-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/05\/reliefumlauf-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/05\/mosaik-um-den-sockel.jpg\" alt=\"Victory column on the Gro\u00dfe Stern in Berlin - Siegess\u00e4ule\" data-id=\"9243\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/05\/mosaik-um-den-sockel.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/germany\/berlin\/siegessaule-victory-column\/attachment\/mosaik-um-den-sockel-2\/\" class=\"wp-image-9243\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/05\/mosaik-um-den-sockel.jpg 800w, https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/05\/mosaik-um-den-sockel-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/05\/mosaik-um-den-sockel-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The base is made of red granite.
