Formerly symbol of division and the Cold War, one of the last remaining stretches of the Berlin Wall now has become symbol of unification and peace.
Now that the Wall is only a distant memory, which you can only see when you really make the effort, this is the longest stretch of the Wall. Its function has radically changed. This part of the Wall is an open-air museum near the Spree river, along the Mühlenstrasse. Unfortunately, the works of art suffered severely from exhaust fumes and vandalism, and some of them have been restored. At the same time, the decaying effects of time also add to the symbolism. After all, the Wall is moving back in the memories of people, it is an anomaly of another era, and a new generation is growing up that never knew the Wall.
