Between 1956 and 1993, the private Swedish aid organization Berlinbarnhjaelpen (Berlin Children’s Aid) organized vacation stays for Berlin children with Swedish host families. Around 50,000 children between the ages of two and 13 were able to leave Berlin for eight to ten weeks.
Carsten Bredlau and his siblings were among them. As a token of gratitude and in memory of the wonderful help provided by Swedish host families and the work of Berlinbarnhjaelpen — especially Helga and Arne Singmyr and the Bloom family — Bredlau, together with other former Berlinbarn, donated a section of the Berlin Wall in 1995.
Originally, the segment was set up at Söderslattgymnasiet; today it stands next to the Trelleborg Museum. The graffiti on the segment is by Jürgen Große, aka Indiano.

A few years later the segment was slightly moved to the Trelleborg Museum where it is more visible.
