East Side Gallery, Open-air art gallery on Berlin Wall in Friedrichshain, Germany
The East Side Gallery spans 1.3 kilometers along the Spree River, displaying over 100 large murals painted on remaining sections of the Berlin Wall.
Following the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, artists from 21 countries created paintings in 1990 to document the political transformation of Europe.
The gallery features Dmitri Vrubel's mural of Brezhnev and Honecker, along with numerous works expressing messages of freedom and German reunification.
The gallery maintains round-the-clock access, with convenient connections from Warschauer Straße and Ostbahnhof railway stations for visitors.
The State of Berlin transferred ownership to the Stiftung Berliner Mauer foundation in 2018 to ensure long-term preservation of this historical monument.
