So, Where is the Berlin Wall nowadays?

After the end of World War II, Germany’s western side was controlled by the Western Allies and the east side by the Soviets. In 1960, millions of runaways from the eastern to the western part drastically affected the Soviet Germany. To prevent further escapes, a wall that fenced West Berlin was constructed in 1961. On the 9th of November 1989 the demolition of the wall began, leaving behind the sad story of a divided country that suffered the horrors of the war for many years. Most of the wall was recycled to rebuild the reunified Germany, but some fragments remain in museums and other important venues around the world.

There are three sections of the wall in the middle of Seoul at the southern end of Cheonggye Stream’s Jangtong Bridge. Berlin gave Seoul these pieces of the wall along with a sculpture of a blue bear that symbolizes the German capital. These symbols of consolation and encouragement seemed to be appropriate for a country that still has reunification ahead of it.
