Brandenburg Gate - OTA Berlin

The former home country of megalomania and kitsch has undergone a transition over the recent years that is a bit of a jaw-dropping affair, to say the least.

They saw an energetic, creative, alert and motivated team beat a lethargic, sleepy and leaderless Dutch team that seemed to just make the motions – as if they were there simply for some commercial contractual obligation and nothing more.
