The Berlin Wall fell in 1989 and has been destroyed nearly everywhere. You can see some remains including the border zones at the Berlin Wall Memorial at the Bernauer Straße. Or if you like street art – you can visit the famous East Side Gallery between Oberbaumbrücke und Ostbahnhof. This part of the wall is 1,3 km long and has been decorated by 118 artists from 21 countries.
As the art work is publicly accessible and unprotected, some works are quite damaged. As the area behind the wall and in front of the Spree is used as a building plot for new homes and offices, some segments have been taken out to give access. But overall the East Side Gallery is worth a visit, showing some wonderful artwork you might have already seen in the media.
