Berlin East Side Gallery Berlin

Two Berlins One Wall

Berlin, Berlin. One city once divided in two. One communist, one not. One brightly adorned the other grey. I can still see East Berlin so clearly. The time of the Wall. Do you know the East Side Gallery? A piece of the Berlin Wall which stands in what was East Berlin. It was transformed into a gallery. This piece of Wall healed by artists joyfully witnessed the Peaceful Revolution of 1989. The Berlin Senate wanted it gone and removed several parts despite protests and petitions. It needs to stay because the history is too important to lose.
