Berlin Wall Wall Segments

The Griebnitzsee Wall Remains are a protected monument on the shore of Griebnitzsee lake, marking a section of the border where the Wall met the water. The scenic lakeside setting belies the deadly purpose of the installations that once stood here.

The Groß Glienicke Wall Memorial preserves the only surviving “first generation” Berlin Wall segment, built in 1961-62. Over 30 metres of original concrete slabs with hollow blocks and Y-shaped barbed wire deflectors stand on the shore of Groß Glienicker See.

A 200-metre preserved section of the Berlin Wall at Niederkirchnerstraße, one of the longest remaining original sections of the inner wall in central Berlin.

The Rudow Hinterland Wall preserves the southernmost Berlin Wall remains in the city. Third-generation concrete slabs stand between H-shaped reinforced concrete supports, overlooking a former death strip that has been reclaimed by nature.

The Schönholzer Mauerreste is an 80-metre triangular section of early-era Berlin Wall, built from World War II rubble in the early 1960s. Concealed and forgotten for 30 years, it was rediscovered in 1999 and officially recognized as a heritage site in 2018.
