The Parliament of Trees, Memorial garden in Berlin-Mitte, Germany.
The Parliament of Trees consists of granite slabs, segments of the Berlin Wall, trees, and informative texts positioned along the Spree River opposite the Reichstag.
Artist Ben Wagin established this memorial on November 9, 1990, incorporating 58 sections of the Berlin Wall and documenting the names of 258 individuals who died at the border.
The central square features 16 trees planted by presidents of German states, representing the unity and reconciliation of the formerly divided nation.
