Berlin, Bernauer Straße
Architects: Kohlhoff & Kohlhoff (1998)
In April 1994, the German federal government, represented by the German Historical Museum, held a competition for the design of a national monument for the victims of the Berlin Wall and the German division that was to be erected at the historical site on Bernauer Strasse.
In July 1995 the federal government, which hosted the competition, decided that the design proposal by Kohlhoff & Kohlhoff should be realized. This design called for the integration of the remaining evidence of the original border fortifications at Bernauer Strasse, and sought to reinforce and embellish them through artistic means.
The monument, two steel walls enclosing a preserved 70-meter long section of the original border fortifications was inaugurated in August, 1998.

Als eine Folge des zweiten Weltkrieges senkte sich am 13. August 1961 endgültig der eiserne Vorhang in Berlin. Die kommunistische/sozialistische Regierung der DDR errichtete die Berliner Mauer.
28 Jahre später, am 9. November 1989 wurde die Berliner Mauer von den Bürgern der DDR niedergerissen.
Niemals darf das Leid und die Toten an der Mauer vergessen werden.
====================================
As a result of the Second World War, the Iron Curtain finally fell on August 13, 1961 in Berlin. The Communist / Socialist government of the GDR built the Berlin Wall.
28 years later, on November 9, 1989, the Berlin Wall was demolished by the citizens of the GDR.
Never should the suffering and the dead on the wall be forgotten.

The Berlin Wall has had an interesting history since it was breached in 1989. People seem to want a piece of it and slowly Berliners realized not much was left. The six sections at Potsdamer Platz are covered in chewing gum, a show of disdain for a hated symbol of division perhaps. There are now attempts to get preservation orders in place on what remains. 1.3kms of sections of the Wall have been gathered here at the East Side Gallery and street artists from across the world have been invited to decorate it. This section stands next to the north bank of the river, looking across at where it once actually stood on the other side.

The Trabant was the most common vehicle in East Germany, and was also exported to countries both inside and outside the communist bloc.

I'm glad I had another opportunity to return to Berlin as I had wanted to do this shot on my previous visit but did not have enough blue hours to accomplish it. Also glad to have the image I wanted on the first shot.
The Berliner Dom or Berlin Cathedral is the most important Protestant church in Berlin, and was built between 1895 and 1905. The first church at this site was a baroque cathedral by Johann Boumann, which was completed in 1747 and, in 1822, remodelled in the neoclassicist style by the Berlin architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel.
