The Wall That Started It All

You have to find something that you love enough to be able to take risks, jump over the hurdles and break through the brick walls that are always going to be placed in front of you. If you don't have that kind of feeling for what it is you are doing, you'll stop at the first giant hurdle. ~ George Lucas

 

The remains of the Berlin Wall, as it looks today. It was a worldwide symbol for the division of Germany after World War II and for the injustice and inhumanity of the communist system. The 200 meter which still stand on Niederkirchnerstrasse, marking the border between the districts of Mitte (East) and Kreuzberg (West) have been preserved retaining all traces of the destruction that occured during the transitional period and placed under protection as a historical monument.
