memorial site berlin wall
with the planning for the open-air exhibition on the grounds of the berliner mauer memorial, on architektur included fire walls (gable walls) flanking the exhibition area as exhibition supports in the design concept. these fire walls are located parallel to the former postenweg,
the backbone of the exhibition. they serve as an exhibition space for large-format historical photographs, which complement the theme stations on the postenweg.
on five firewalls, large-format black and white photographs were painted directly onto the plaster of the façade in the upper area. these murals are well-known, iconic photographs from the history of the wall.
