A bit south of the city center is a 1.3 km section of the Berlin Wall that still stands along the river Spree. Beginning in 1990 over 100 international artists were commissioned to paint different sections on one side and it is now known as the East Side Gallery.
Before reaching the Wall itself we saw this odd structure and checked it out, though we were unable to find out what it was.
But when we got to the Wall we saw a photo of the structure and learned that it was originally a crossing point between East and West Berlin. The towers have been restored, and one of the U-bahn lines now runs through it.
The Wall/East Side Gallery.
A few photos of painted sections that I especially liked.
I love my buck-toothed friend.
