East Side Gallery – Highlight: Who owns the city?

Max. 20 participants, German language – The East Side Gallery was listed as a historical monument in 1991 in order to preserve the painted remains of the Berlin Wall.

At the same time, the first plans for the urban development of the area around the gallery were developed. The urban development plans and monument protection found a solution, the result of which we can see today: The East Side Gallery remained in its original location, but it was given gaps - including access to the new buildings in the former border strip.

The tour traces the discussions about the preservation of the East Side Gallery and, with the wagon castle and the graffiti sprayers, makes visible the stories of people who appropriated the derelict area in the 1990s and were pushed out.
