east side gallery 2 (part of the Berlin Wall)

Various artists painted their works on the longest remaining part of the Berlin Wall soon after it was opened in 1989, thus creating the "East Side Gallery". It is a Listed Building now, which did not keep some investors from tearing a gap into it only recently. Of course this led to the formation of a protest movement, which put a temporary stop to the further destruction of the wall. There is hope that the wall - and with it the gallery - will remain.
