I think it is good to visit parts of Berlin that are significant in the history of humanity. There are different types of drawing, and personally, some have more impact than others. However, I have to admit that I expected something more.

This is a permanent open-air gallery on the longest surviving section of the Berlin Wall, the biggest in Europe. It separated Berlin into East & West. The East side was under the communist influence and was very strict and oppressive. The paintings were made on the East side of the wall, as a reaction to the political regime. They document a time of change and express the euphoria and great hopes for a better, more free future for all people of the world. In the spring of 1990 the Wall was opened and 118 artists started to paint on it.

Interesting piece of history that we need to never forget. Very crowded.

An important part of history that is a must see! The Wall was built in 1961 to prevent East Germans from fleeing and stop an economically disastrous migration of workers. It was quite emotional walking along the Berlin wall. The art work is incredible. I can't imagine living in those times.

Eine Erinnerung an die alte (schwierige) Zeiten. Sehr emotional wenn man sich alles vorstellt wie es war. Sicher empfehlenswert!

The Berlin Wall was a significant historical landmark that divided the city of Berlin, Germany, from 1961 to 1989. Its construction was a physical and ideological manifestation of the Cold War, separating East Germany, under Soviet control, from West Germany, which was aligned with the Western democracies. The construction of the Berlin Wall began on August 13, 1961. Its purpose was to halt the massive emigration of East Germans to the more prosperous West, which was causing economic and political strain on the East German government. The wall consisted of a complex system of concrete walls, barbed wire, watchtowers, and heavily fortified border crossings. It stretched approximately 155 kilometers (96 miles) through the heart of Berlin, dividing neighborhoods, families, and even buildings. The Berlin Wall symbolized not only a physical barrier but also the ideological division between the East and the West. On the eastern side of the wall, the communist regime imposed strict controls on its citizens, limiting their freedoms and closely monitoring their a

An important piece of history that is one of the must see sites while in Berlin. The artwork is stunning and there are really deep and touching messages in all of them. It is well worth walking the entire distance and experiencing the full length of the artwork if you have the time.

Iconic tourist attraction of war ruins separating East Germany and West Germany. Here, there are many tourists from many different countries, I'm Vietnamese, all kinds of old people, young people, singers, musicians, ... all fun and funny!

1.3km of the historical landmark with beautiful art to look at. A must if you are visiting Berlin.

Main touristic and historic attraction of Berlin 🇩🇪 The walk of the Berlin mauer is a must in my opinion, there is so much history behind it, the wall has been decorated by amazing artists.

What a thought provoking place to visit, it's great to see all the art work on the walls and emerse yourslef into the messages within. There is cafes around for you to take a rest and take it all in. Along the route there is interactive sound and visual points along the route which are also worth checking out. It can be busy keep your children close and look out for pick pockets. Definitely worth a vist !

Gives goosebumps to think what would have been happening on the erstwhile East German side of this wall. Now it is painted with very very diverse and extraordinary modern paintings. Worth spending time to see the entire wall length and scrutinize almost every artwork.

Es gibt ganz viele Bars entlang der Spree. Und die Mauergallerie ist immer wieder sehenswert. Von hier kann man mit den Schiffen tolle Fahrten machen ☺️👍

Ein Stück Geschichte, wunderschöne Bilder der Künstler, hat mir super gut gefallen, wie das gestaltet wurde. Das muss man wirklich gesehen haben.

Good to visit if you want to have a feel that you visited a recently historical place. Otherwise there is nothing much to explore here. A small wall musium about the Hitler era and the taking down the wall includes mostly the videos.

Wall became a monument of sad history of Berlin. Now it turned into art gallery. Definitely worth visiting

Great to visit this place, historical monument, important for the european citizens It’s Hard to park the car in this area

I really loved it

Very touching. I was 10 when the wall felt and it's the first historical event I remember. I always wanted to come here and touch it and give respect to all the humans beings involved in that situation at the time. Peace☮️ is always the right answer.

A nice historical place to stop by. well preserved wall graffitis and figures. The Berlin Wall (German: Berliner Mauer, pronounced [bɛʁˌliːnɐ ˈmaʊ̯ɐ] (audio speaker iconlisten)) was a guarded concrete barrier that physically and ideologically divided Berlin from 1961 to 1989.[1] Construction of the wall was commenced by the German Democratic Republic (GDR, East Germany) on 13 August 1961. The Wall cut off West Berlin from surrounding East Germany, including East Berlin.[2] The barrier included guard towers placed along large concrete walls,[3] accompanied by a wide area (later known as the "death strip") that contained anti-vehicle trenches, beds of nails and other defenses. The Eastern Bloc portrayed the Wall as protecting its population from fascist elements conspiring to prevent the "will of the people" from building a socialist state in East Germany. #wall #art # history

You can't visit Berlin and take a look at this wall and his history. Today what's left of the week is full of nice art and murals. Definitely a must see.

I think the wall that is intact and not covered in graffiti are interesting. East side gallety is cool but by the topography of terror exhibit is my favorite.

What a beautiful landmark. It is quite busy though so watch out! A very rude man ripped a pin off my bag when he bumped into me ahaha. Other than that it is definitely worth it!

Beautiful artwork

Impressive to see a part of Germany’s history in real life!

Worth seeing. Nice atmosphere by the river. You can just sit down and reflect. Panta rhei especially there.

Awesome park, great history, great art. As much as I love the historical aspect of whitewashing the river-facing side and appreciate the commitment to accuracy and respect for the history, they did paint over iconic pieces from now deceased street artists who helped make that side of the wall an accompanying "raw" gallery to the east side gallery. Still, love the park and this area of Berlin.

A piece of history that must be preserved to remind the next generations of the horror that took place here.

Simply a place you have to at least walk past if you're in berlin for the historical importance of it

The Eastern Bloc portrayed the Wall as protecting its population from fascist elements conspiring to prevent the "will of the people" from building a socialist state in East Germany. GDR authorities officially referred to the Berlin Wall as the Anti-Fascist Protection Rampart (German: Antifaschistischer Schutzwall, pronounced [antifaˌʃɪstɪʃɐ ˈʃʊt͡sval] (listen)). The West Berlin city government sometimes referred to it as the "Wall of Shame", a term coined by mayor Willy Brandt in reference to the Wall's restriction on freedom of movement.[4] Along with the separate and much longer Inner German border (IGB), which demarcated the border between East and West Germany, it came to symbolize physically the "Iron Curtain" that separated Western Europe and the Eastern Bloc during the Cold War.[5] Before the Wall's erection, 3.5 million East Germans circumvented Eastern Bloc emigration restrictions and defected from the GDR, many by crossing over the border from East Berlin into West Berlin; from there they could then travel to West Germany and to other Western European countries. Between 1961 and 1989, the Wall prevented almost all such emigration.[6] During this period, over 100,000[7] people attempted to escape, and over 5,000 people succeeded in escaping over the Wall, with an estimated death toll ranging from 136[8] to more than 200[5][9] in and around Berlin. In 1989, a series of revolutions in nearby Eastern Bloc countries—in Poland and Hungary in particular—caused a chain reaction in East Germany.[10] In particular, the Pan-European Picnic in August 1989 set in motion a peaceful development during which the Iron Curtain largely broke, the rulers in the East came under pressure, the Berlin Wall fell and finally the Eastern Bloc fell apart.[11][12][13] After several weeks of civil unrest, the East German government announced on 9 November 1989 that all GDR citizens could visit West Germany and West Berlin. Crowds of East Germans crossed and climbed onto the Wall, joined by West Germans on the other side in a celebratory atmosphere. Over the next few weeks, the likes of souvenir hunters chipped away parts of the Wall.[5] The Brandenburg Gate, a few meters from the Berlin Wall, was opened on 22 December 1989. The demolition of the Wall officially began on 13 June 1990 and was completed in 1994.[1] The "fall of the Berlin Wall" paved the way for German reunification, which formally took place on 3 October 1990.[5]

A little underwhelming, though a few pieces in the evolving installation were really evocative. If you're looking for history and a sense of depth, strongly recommend the "Topography of Terror" outdoor exhibit (with a section of the wall) a bit west of here. Still, I enjoyed the walk and seeing the different art styles that were there this time, and I'd visit again in the future.
