The Berlin Wall divided the German capital into two parts between 1961 and 1989. The Pan-European Picnic and the breach of the border on August 19, 1989 played an important role in the fall of the Berlin Wall.
The city of Sopran received the part of the wall in 2019 as a gift from Germany on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of this important historical event. Today the Berlin Wall is a symbol of freedom and the peaceful revolution.

At the Austria / Hungary border crossing is the gate to freedom in memory of the time of August 19, 1989 - the first major mass escape from the GDR.
