The Berlin Wall

Berlin is one of my favourite cities, there is a real sense of history about the place, recently they seem to be trying to preserve and recreate the cold war history. It seems that they are rebuilding significant parts of the wall. The photo below was my John Le Carre moment. I can’t imagine what it must have been like when the city was split. The meeting I had to attend was with a colleague from the Czech Republic and he recalls visiting East Berlin when he was a teenager and looking over the wall at the western tourists looking back




The plan it to mark the path of the wall through the city with a double reow of bricks
