Description
The Berlin Wall was a guarded concrete barrier that encircled West Berlin from 1961 to 1989, separating it from East Berlin. It was constructed by the communist government of East Germany (under the control of the Soviet Union) to "protect the people of East Berlin" from the West. After U.S. President Ronald Reagan made his famous speech in 1989, asking Soviet Premier Mikhail Gorbachev to "tear down this wall" within a few weeks the wall came down. Berliners crowded all sections of the wall with picks, axes and other tools to symbolically take the wall down and it did come down. Only a few sections remain as a reminder of those dark days that their city was separated. This intact section is now adorned with street art.
