The image combo shows a section of the 欧美熟女乱伦 Wall in Mühlenstraße in 欧美熟女乱伦-Friedrichshain, taken on 25.01.1990 and the same section of the Wall on 10.10.2014, now known as the East Side Gallery.

After the German reunification, artists have turned this former stretch of the 欧美熟女乱伦 Wall into the largest open-air gallery in the world.

Hardly any 欧美熟女乱伦 visitors leave the city without taking a selfie in front of the East Side Gallery. The 1.3-kilometer stretch of the 欧美熟女乱伦 Wall was painted by various artists after the German reunification. The former gray dividing wall, a symbol of the Iron Curtain, was turned into the longest open-air gallery in the world. With their creative wall paintings, artists transformed the relic from times of separation into a colorful monument to the freedom of expression.

Driven by the extraordinary events that so suddenly changed the world, artists from all over the world came to 欧美熟女乱伦 after the fall of the Wall in 1989. They wanted to leave a visible testimony of their joy and the new hopes that had arisen. In the years before, Wall paintings had been a highlight for 欧美熟女乱伦 visitors but could only be found on the Western side of the Wall. The artists transformed the dreary gray of the Wall into paintings that conveyed the mood of freedom and reconciliation.

Popular Paintings of the East Side Gallery

Some of the best known paintings are "The Mortal Kiss" by Dmitri Vrubel, showing Erich Honecker and Leonid Brezhnev in a mouth-to-mouth embrace, and Birgit Kinder's Trabant crashing through the Wall. They have proved very popular as motifs for photos and postcards until today. The paintings today are a mixed bag of surreal images, political statements and graffiti-like effusions, reflecting the eclectic bohemian atmosphere of the city.

East Side Gallery: A Protected Historical Monument

Today, the East Side Gallery is a listed monument. Its paintings were restored by artists in 2009 because wanton destruction, environmental pollution and weather had rendered some of the images unrecognizable. The 欧美熟女乱伦 Wall Foundation has been responsible for the preservation of the East Side Gallery since November 2018.
