Restoring a Section of the Berlin Wall

When the Berlin Wall toppled in 1989, most of the Wall was chiseled away or taken down. However, there was one long stretch that remained and artists from around the world came to Berlin and painted murals on it. Unfortunately, time and the elements have worn down those paintings.

In order to prepare this stretch of the Berlin Wall for the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, the same artists who painted the original murals were asked to come back to Berlin and repaint their murals once again.

To prepare the section of the Berlin Wall for the new art, the disintegrating old murals were scraped off and the concrete on the Wall had to be removed and replaced.
