Part of a stylized eye and longer inscription can still be seen on this segment, which stretched over several segments of the Wall: “Gorbi sees everything”. Since this painting was on the former east side of the Wall segment, it must date from after 1990. The original over-climbing protection has not been preserved. The two segments of the Wall have been provided with a plaque whose text in the official working languages of NATO, English and French, reads as follows:

The Berlin Wall, a symbol of repression and fear, split the German capital from 1961. The NATO Allies opposed it with their enduring commitment to freedom, democracy and human rights – values which unite us to this day. Peaceful protest in Central and Eastern Europe brought the Wall down on 9 November 1989, paving the way for German reunification and an end to the division of Europe.

Le Mur de Berlin a coupé en deux la capitale de l’Allemagne dès 1961. À ce symbole d’oppression et de peur, les pays de l’OTAN ont opposé leur engagement pour la liberté, la démocratie et les droits de l’homme – des valeurs qui nous unissent jusqu’à ce jour. Les manifestations pacifiques en Europe centrale et orientale ont entraîné la chute du Mur, le 9 novembre 1989, annonçant la réunification de l’Allemagne et la fin d’une Europe divisée.
