About the site
The longest preserved piece of the Berlin Wall stands between Ostbahnhof station and Oberbaum Bridge and is known worldwide as the East Side Gallery. After the Wall fell, 118 artists from 21 countries redesigned 1.3 kilometers of the former border into the longest open-air gallery in the world. The East Side Gallery stands both as a symbol of joy over the end of Germany’s division and as a historical reminder of the inhumanity of the GDR border regime. Today it is one of Berlin's most popular tourist attractions.
Info-van
The Berlin Wall Foundation’s info-van is located on the Spree side of the East Side Gallery, diagonally across from Tamara-Danz-Strasse. This is the meeting point for all tours. The current hygiene measures can be found here.
