Berlin Wall Monument in Chicago, Cold War monument in Lincoln Square, Chicago, United States.

The Berlin Wall Monument displays a 16-foot section of the actual barrier at the Western Brown Line CTA station in Lincoln Square, Chicago.

The German government donated this section of the Berlin Wall to Chicago in 2008, nineteen years after the structure dividing East and West Germany fell.

The monument stands in Lincoln Square, a neighborhood with German roots, featuring inscriptions from Chicago and Berlin officials about freedom and unity.

Visitors can reach the monument by taking the Western Brown Line train, which stops directly at the station where the wall section is displayed.

The wall segment exhibits graffiti on its western face while maintaining an unadorned eastern side, reflecting the different experiences between both parts of Berlin.
