Parlament der Bäume

At the Marie-Elisabeth-Lüders-Haus, the Parliament of Trees against War and Violence is a memorial commemorating the 258 people who died at the wall. Begun in 1990 by the artist Ben Wagin, it is made up of trees, memorial stones, and original parts of the wall. The names of the 258 dead are inscribed on stones. The memorial had to be scaled down to make way for the construction of the Marie-Elisabeth-Lüders-Haus, which is home to the Bundestag library.
