1 Berlin Wall Memorial
The long division
One of the great mistakes of (the turning point) - the reunification of Germany-was the removal of almost all of the Berlin Wall, erasing a powerful reminder of mankind's inhumanity. Today only one important kilometre-long stretch of it remains, on Bernauer Strasse, where the border ran between the districts of Wedding and Mitte. The houses along its north-eastern side were in East Berlin while those literally across the street were in West Berlin.
