Original Segment of the Berlin Wall at Point Alpha

Highlight • Monument

"The Berlin Wall is coming to Rasdorf – a rare original piece has been secured from the Berlin Senate," reported Martin Hohmann (CDU), a member of the Bundestag from East Hesse, today. The legendary "anti-fascist protective barrier" of the inhumane SED dictatorship was largely "crumbled" by so-called "wallpeckers" after 1989. In Berlin, apart from two centrally located sections of the wall declared historical monuments, only a few elements remained. These are being kept under lock and key by the Berlin Senate Department for Urban Development as a precautionary measure. Hohmann successfully appealed to the Federal Government and the Berlin Senate to obtain a segment of the wall for the large exhibition and information complex currently being built on the Thuringian side of the "Point Alpha" memorial, remembrance, and meeting place.

Friedenswind Sculpture

Highlight • Monument

Worth seeing and more relevant than ever as an art object. This symbolizes the wind of change and the sweeping changes after the fall of the Wall, created by the artist Friedel Dementer.
