Wall pieces: Don't expect authenticity

  • Most people on VT will tell you that, so I just wanna repeat it: don't buy pieces of the wall and expect that they are real. They are most probably not. In my eyes they are a waste of money.

    Alternative: I suggest instead to go to places with wall traces. You can take photos there and touch the original wall stone. There are not many places left, since, sadly, the wall is not always considered as a historical monument, but you will find remains here:

    - at the Topography of Terror exhibition behind the Martin-Gropius-Bau
    - the East Side Gallery near Warschauer Straße (= longest remaining piece of the wall - 1200 m)
    - Bernauer Straße
    - Mauerpark (Prenzlauer Berg)
    - Bornholmer Str. (Bösebrücke)
