Notes To Myself My Life Notes
The very first place to visit in Berlin was to see the famous Berlin Wall Graffiti.
The Berlin Wall was constructed in 1961 to separate West Berlin and East Berlin during the Cold War. Graffiting on the wall became popular for artists from all over the world and a place where tourists would go and admire the artwork. The West Berlin side of the wall had artwork completely covering the wall, while the East Berlin side was kept blank because people were not permitted to get close enough to the eastside of the wall to paint anything.
It was nice to capture some of the Graffiti
Another one
Interesting statements from various people upon its fall were:
“Now what belongs together will grow together”
“Unification can lead to prosperity”
“The Wall was an edifice of fear. On November 9th, it became a place of joy.”
To this day, the Berlin Wall remains one of the most powerful and enduring symbols of the Cold War. From construction to destruction, the Berlin Wall stood for 28 years as a scar across the historic heart of Germany. It split Europe’s most powerful country. A must visit place in Berlin
