Leo Schmidt: The Fall and Rise of the Berlin Wall
April 6, 2017 |
For 28 years, the Berlin Wall was a deadly border separating friends and families. It was an international symbol of Communist oppression and of the Cold War. Following the bloodless revolution in 1989 the vast structure was demolished very quickly. But its remnants and traces have since acquired an entirely new and positive significance. The lecture investigates the Wall as a building, its physical remnants and the way these are presented today.
