Overview
A surviving stretch of the wall that divided East and West Berlin from 1961 to 1989, the East Side Gallery is now covered with 105 murals across 1.3km. The most famous works include 'The Fraternal Kiss' and 'The Trabant Breaking Through the Wall.' As the world's largest open-air gallery, it turns the painful Cold War legacy into art, prompting reflection on division and reunification. Free to visit. 10-minute walk from S-Bahn Ostbahnhof or U-Bahn Warschauer Straße station.
