The image most people have of the Berlin Wall today is based on this view of its western face, covered in graffiti and drawings. From the East-German point of view, it was the last in a series of insurmountable obstacles, cordoned off and concealed from sight.
A new online documentation “Memorial Landscape of the Berlin Wall” is provided by the Dept. of Conservation at Brandenburg University of Technology that strives to fill in this gap between image and reality, a reality that has become history and is nearly not visible today in downtown Berlin.
The interactive map is going to be released also in an English version.
