East Side Gallery Self-Guided Audio Walk: Berlin Wall Murals, The Kiss and Oberbaum Bridge

About this experience

The East Side Gallery is the longest surviving stretch of the Berlin Wall, painted in 1990 by 118 artists from 21 countries. But it was the inner wall, facing East Berlin: here the river itself was the border. Start behind the Wall in the park by the Spree, where border guards once watched the water, then come out to the painted face. Follow Thierry Noir's heads, the Trabant, the Wall Jumper and the Sakharov panel to the famous kiss of Brezhnev and Honecker, and find out why almost every mural you see is a second version. End by crossing the towered brick Oberbaum Bridge, once a border crossing on foot, into Kreuzberg and the elevated station at Schlesisches Tor. Nine stops, about 1.5 km and 60 minutes, at your own pace, in English. Flat, outdoors and free to visit; the walk mentions deaths at the border.

What's included

Walk behind the longest surviving stretch of the Berlin Wall in the riverside park, then along its painted face past Noir's heads, the Trabant and the Kiss, over the Oberbaumbrücke to Schlesisches Tor.
