Piece of the Berlin Wall
ca. 1989
National Constitution Center
Philadelphia, PA, United States
This concrete fragment came from the Berlin Wall. First built in 1961, the wall prevented those in Soviet-controlled East Berlin from defecting to West Berlin (administered by France, Britain, and the United States) during the height of the Cold War. Its fall in November 1989 led to the reunification of Germany.
