This week I will continue with more murals on the historic wall in Berlin. The famous open-air gallery with paintings are located by the river. There is 1.300 meters of preserved wall still here. The wall that once divided Berlin into two parts , was demolished in 1989. People from both sides could then meet. The wall definitly has a historical significanse. Many people died when they tried to cross.
Today this piece of the wall stands as a monument from the era. It was on November 9, in the year 1989 that the wall was demolished. This happend during the revolution against the dictatorship in East Germany / GDR. In 1990 East Germany was reunited with West Germany. After the fall more than a hundred artists from around the world have been decorating the walls with a countless number of murals.
This mural is done by Andrej Smolák. It is a mural of some length. The chain is held by a white dove – the dove of peace.
The title is «Niemansland» meaning «no man's land» - the zone between two countries in conflict. A good
Here are the two actors, Jean Reno and Juliette Binoche
The artist behind this mural is Yoni / Yvonne Matzat. I haven't manage to find out anything about the artist.
This mural has a text underneath that says « Vergest Mir die Liebe Nicht» which means «Don't forget my love». The picture gives a completely different impression and depicts a completely different side of life than most of the others on the wall.
There are lots of murals all the way, but I only took photos of those that I found interesting. The wall is famous. Even though not all are actually well painting or interesting, I wouldn't have missed it.
