 East Side Gallery by TinyTuck A monumental (large) piece of the Wall painted by artists. It's really nice! (See my travelogue "The Wall and what's left") Leave a Comment Directions: Friedrichshain, close to Ostbahnhof

 East Side Gallery by sabsi More than 1 kilometre of remains of the wall painted by international artists on the East Side. Half of it (the end near Ostbahnhof) has been restored recently and it is as bright and colourful as it was meant to be, the other half is still falling apart unfortunately. The East Side of the wall was never sprayed when the wall was still there until 1989. The western side looked really colourful and interesting with all the politic statements and colourful graffitis. As the people of the East couldn't get to the wall without being shot the Eastern side was grey concrete and fences which made it an even more depressing sight I can imagine. Leave a Comment Directions: Walk down "Straße der Pariser Kommune" from Ostbahnhof and you are there.

by greentara Of course a visit to the East side gallery is a must. It's the longest remaining section of the wall 1.3km long and still shocking to believe that it actually exsisted. Leave a Comment Directions: Take the u/s bahn to Warschauer Strasse and walk 5mins down hill and there it looms....

by ucbwalker ... While other images in the Gallery approach the Wall and the feelings it inspired more abstractly. Leave a Comment

by ucbwalker The East Side Gallery, near the river on the way over to Kreuzberg. What remains standing of the despised Wall is now used as a massive open-air canvas for a wide variety of artists. Some of the art is bland and we-are-the-world hippy-ish, but some is genuinely interesting. Leave a Comment

by oja East Side Gallery If there is one sight you shouldn't miss for the world, it must be the East Side Gallery. This is what the remaining 1000-or-so metres of the Wall are called nowadays. If you have problems feeling caught and restricted, you won't any more as you see this symbol of former dictatorship and totalitarianism. It really makes you value your freedom. In the souvenir shop behind it, you can get a DDR stamp in your passport for 1 DEM. (Once I had a bit of problems at the German border when the police officer couldn't understand how I could have a DDR stamp when my passport was issued only in 1992... Ah, police!) Leave a Comment Directions: Take U1 to Warschauerstrasse and then you should spot it. You can also start from Ostbahnhof (East Railway Station) because it's quite near.

by anglosaxon Another Eastside Gallery pic. This one shows the battle between those who wanted the wall destroyed and those who wanted kept for history and art. Leave a Comment

by anglosaxon The longest remaining section of the wall and given over to artists for both new and the renovation of old art. Leave a Comment Directions: From Warschauer Street station (end of U1) cross over the road so the river is on your left. Or take the S-Bahn to the Ostbahnhof and the wall is opposite on the left.

by cynthi Where else can you see so much of the Berlin Wall? Other cities in Germany have bits and pieces, but not only does Berlin have the most, but it is also a work of art! Leave a Comment

Go and see the East Side Gallery. It's a part of the Eastern wall that remains. Artists from all over the world have painted it after die Wende. Only part of it has been restored yet, unfortunately. Leave a Comment
