East Side Gallery • Section 1 of 5

Welcome to one of the most powerful and vibrant landmarks in the world. You are standing before the East Side Gallery, a one point three kilometer long stretch of the Berlin Wall that has been transformed from a symbol of division into a massive monument to freedom. As you begin your walk here near Tamara-Danz-Straße and the Spree river, take a moment to look at the height of the concrete. This section at Mühlenstraße is the longest continuous remnant of the Wall still standing in its original place today. For nearly thirty years, these slabs represented a deadly border, but today they carry the voices and dreams of over one hundred artists from twenty-one different countries. You are about to walk through a historic document of nineteen ninety, a year when the world held its breath as Germany reunited.
