Day 78 - The Berlin Wall: East Side Gallery

The Berlin Wall was the physical division between West Berlin and East Germany from 1961 to 1989. It was also a symbolic boundary between democracy and Communism during the Cold War. 

Memories of the Wall, however, are still very much alive. The most famous part is the East Side Gallery, 
an international memorial for freedom. The gallery consists of 105 paintings form artists from all over the world. 

Part of the East Side Gallery has to be removed to make way to a new bridge and a luxury block of flats. Hundreds of people protest against the demolition work an dhop that the Gallery can be saved...
