The wall that once separated East and West Germany in a fit of civil unrest came down in 1989. For years after that, the ecstatic residents and curious visitors of Berlin chipped away their very own piece of the wall as a way to remember the 28 years that it stood tall. However, the authorities have now put a fence around the remaining parts of the wall to preserve what is left and ensure that there will be something left for future visitors to see. Three main chunks of the wall still remain intact and there is a visitor center nearby that gives tourists more information about the wall's history.
