The gallery runs along the river between Ostbahnhof and the Oberbaum Bridge. Artists painted the inner side of the Wall in 1990, and the Berlin Wall Foundation has looked after it since 2018. The paintings include the Fraternal Kiss and the Trabant breaking through the wall. The walk is a simple out and back along the river, and the Oberbaum Bridge at the far end is a good place to turn around.
What to look for
- The Fraternal Kiss mural
- The Trabant breaking through the wall
- The Oberbaum Bridge at the Kreuzberg end
