| "Unter den Linden" by Alexanderplatz across from the Neue Wache. | Following "The fall of the wall" in 1989, construction and comercialization of Eastern Berlin as well as the interest of tourists made for a rapid tearing down of the wall. This segment of the Berlin Wall was not torn down, because of the impact of its graffitti. |
