A large section of the
Berlin Wall was preserved on the east side of the
Spree near the
Warschauer Strasse U- and
S-Bahn stations. Artists were commissioned to paint on sections of the wall, which stand today as an outdoor
gallery of sorts.
Perhaps the most famous of the paintings is a close-up rendering of the famous kiss between
Leonid Brezhnev and
Erich Honecker at the thirtieth anniversary of the founding of the
DDR in
1979.
