    Berlin Wall memorablia

    The 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall is coming soon, so I thought it would be interesting to share the Berlin Wall pieces that we have in our collection.

    I'll start with the only piece I have which comes from the Eastern part of the Berlin Wall (it's all white). Unfortunately I'm not the one who took it from the Wall as I wasn't in Berlin in 1989-1990. It was given to me by a man living in Pankow 11 years ago. The guy had a big chunk and he broke that small piece for me.

    Anyway, please contribute.

            Talking theoretically - ain't these easily faked..?

            Find a 30-40 year old concrete wall and smash it to handy pieces... voila - Berlin wall!

              We don't need to talk about faked parts of a wall.

              The best way to get an original part of the Berlin Wall was to use a hammer!

                Good question, one that most of us that were surrounded by it never thought of.

                      Great photos Dan. And in some places it was just a wire fence. As with this photo of my kids in the French sector of Berlin:

                            Around 1986, I departed Berlin less than a year before the Wall fell for company command in West Germany. But friends still stationed in Berlin brought me a sizable chuck of the wall. Parts of the Wall in more rural areas were wire mesh fences combined with long dog runs.

                              Here are my pieces. I took these from the wall in Feb. of 1990, just a few weeks before I returned to the US after having been stationed in Germany for 5 years. It was the best day of my tour!
