Commemorative stretch of the historic divide with a preserved section of original wall & memorial.

Sunken monument with empty shelves, marking the site of approximately 20,000 books burned by Nazis.

👍👍 White Crosses is a memorial for those who died during the Cold War at the Berlin Wall. It is located at the shore of the river Spree in Berlin next to the Reichstag building, which houses the German parliament.

👍👍 A small piece of history preserved so we don't forget and so we don't repeat this again.

Park with grassland & trees set on the site of the former border between East & West Berlin.

Open-air installation honoring the victims of the 1972 massacre, with a repeating 10-minute video.

👍👍 Magnificent memorial to the many nations who helped preserve freedom in Germany. Thank you for remembering the many who gave their lives and others who took tremendous risks in assisting Berlin and the free west!

👍👍 Beeindruckendes Mahnmal. Die Steine sind riesig und mit Gedächtnistafeln mit kleinen Parolen und Texten beschriftet. Man erkennt es gleich von der Autobahn. Der Park um das Denkmal ist gepflegt sauber und eignet sich für einen kleinen Spaziergang.
