Location: Berliner Ring
2 segments
In 1991, the then command of the Clausewitz Barracks has got four segments of the Berlin Wall. Two of them remained as a memorial at the barracks. The other were donated to the City of Nienburg.
In 2010, a Berlin Wall memorial was inaugurated in Nienburg/Weser. Representatives from the twin town Nienburg/Saale joined the inauguration. Nienburg in Lower Saxony and Nienburg Saxony-Anhalt are collaborating since the German reunification.
In a joint project on the occasion of the inauguration, pupils from both cities worked out the history. The graffito was refreshed by Wladimir Wolnow, an artist from Belarus.
A sign in front of the wall segments reads:
Berlin Wall Memorial Site
After the opening of the inner-German border and the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the city of Nineburg acquired two fragments of the Berlin Wall featuring graffiti by an unknown artist. To mark the 20th anniversary of the city’s sister-city partnership with Nienburg/Saale in 2010, they were restored and re-erected at this site. They serve as a reminder of the peaceful revolution in the GDR, the reunification of Germany, and the commitment to overcome the division between East and West—even in people’s minds and hearts.
Unveiled on May 30, 2010
