    Where the Wall Used to Be Search for traces: Wall trail, history mile and memorial places © visitBerlin, Foto: Philip Koschel Radtour entlang der East Side Gallery It divided Berlin down the middle. A concrete bulwark that wrote a sad chapter of world history and became a frightful symbol for the divided metropolis. The eastern part of the city was walled up, cut off. In the West, Berliners and visitors from around the world stood on observation towers and gazed over the Wall, while the copious graffiti sought to deprive the gray colossus of its murderous brutality. At the Wall, people died. Fates were decided. And here, in 1987, U.S. President Ronald Reagan demanded, “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!” The Berlin Wall, symbol of the division of Berlin and Germany and the Cold War, finally came down on 9 November 1989. The construction of the Berlin Wall on 13 August 1961 led to the partitioning of East and West Germany and West Berlin’s encirclement by the Wall. Hundreds of people lost their lives on the border trying to escape from East to West. Following an escalation of protests at the end of the 1980s, the border crossings were opened on 9 November 1989. That night and over the next few days, millions celebrated across the city: Berliners from East and West and visitors from across the world joyously embraced each other. The peaceful revolution had triumphed and reunited the people of Germany. Berlin has changed dramatically since the fall of the Wall and German reunification: the two halves of the city have once again merged as one, historic buildings have been restored and whole new districts and magnificent buildings have emerged.

Between 1993 and 1994, in his series “Berlin: The City’s Edge”, photographer André Kirchner captured traces of recent history in the surrounding March of Branden- burg, in particular the turbulent changes underway four years after the Wall fell. André Kirchner, Süd, Schönefeld, nicht kartierte Grenzstraße vor Rudow. The geographical starting-point for his Aus der Serie: Stadtrand Berlin 1993/94, © André Kirchner, Repro: Anja Elisabeth Witte series was the former border checkpoint at Drewitz. Within a year, working his way slowly in an anti-clock- André wise direction, he reached Glienicke Bridge on the other side of Potsdam. These 60 shots construct a view of the periphery of Greater Berlin as defined in Kirchner 1920, when the city absorbed several outlying com- munities. That 234-kilometre edge corresponds more Berlin: The City’s Edge or less to Berlin’s current footprint. Contrary to the custom in classical urban 1993/94 photography, Kirchner consistently turned his pan- oramic lens from the outside inwards.
