Graffiti painted on the Berlin Wall
The sign says "Attention, here you are leaving West-Berlin".
Graffiti painted on the Berlin Wall
Impressions of the "Berliner Mauer" (Berlin Wall), with an original small piece of the wall. At the top titled "Berlin, die Mauer - the wall - le mur, original stone of Berlin wall"
The wall between East Germany and West Germany existed from August 1961 till November 1989. At the beginning it was barbed wire, but later it was a solid concrete wall. On the west side the wall could be used as canvas, and was painted over and over with graffiti. Some of them are really works of art.
When the wall was opened and pulled down, it was not only an official governmental act, but also people demolished and broke it up, taking pieces away for souvenirs.
Parts of the wall are installed as historic monuments, and also at places outside of Germany. And some people had the wise idea to use small pieces of it for bookmarks. - From Helga Moghaddam
