This Berlin Wall fragment was placed at the school in 1994. Initially the fragment was gifted to the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD). The fall of the Berlin Wall was one of the monumental events that led to the founding of the EBRD. Their task was to promote the development of Eastern Europe however the City of London would not allow the section to be placed in the Exchange Square near Liverpool Street and so it was sited in Richmond. This fragment originally was placed in Bernauer Strasse, which in 1945 was the border between the localities of Wedding (west) and Mitte (east). Initially there were houses very close to the border and people jumped from windows into the West. The DDR blocked up the windows then demolished the houses to prevent such escapes.
