"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.

History in stone!

This original segment of the Berlin Wall is located directly in front of the "House on the Border."

According to the information panel, it was a gift from the Berlin Senate to the Point Alpha Foundation.
