The central Berlin Wall Memorial on Bernauer Straße shows the permanent exhibition "1961 | 1989. The Berlin Wall".

The monument "Parliament of Trees" was created by artist Ben Wargin in 1990 and commemorates the people who died on the Berlin Wall.


This memorial site commemorates the victims of gunfire and barbed wire at the Berlin Wall and is named after Günter Litfin, the first victim of precision shooting at the Wall.

His tragic death converted Peter Fechter into a symbol. He was shot in 1962 when trying to climb across the Wall.
