Monument to Freedom and Unity, Monument near Spree River in Berlin, Germany
The Monument to Freedom and Unity features a 50-meter-long tilting steel shell structure mounted on a historic pedestal in central Berlin.
The German Parliament approved construction of this memorial in 2007 to commemorate the 1989 peaceful revolution and 1990 German reunification.
The surface of the monument displays slogans from Monday demonstrations during the fall of the Berlin Wall alongside images from German reunification.
When enough visitors gather on one side of the accessible platform, the giant steel shell tilts up to 2 degrees in either direction.
The foundation contains preserved mosaics from the former Kaiser Wilhelm National Monument, which stood at this location until 1950.
