presentation
The giant panorama with a height of 15 meters and a circumference of 60 meters shows everyday life with the Berlin Wall in Kreuzberg near Moritzplatz and Oranienplatz in the 1980s from a four meter high visitor platform . The alternative life in Club SO 36 with its punks , squatted houses, a wagon castle or a petting zoo is completely separate from life in the Mitte district in East Berlin . The Berlin Wall, the death strip and the border installations separate the western and eastern parts , the Federal Republic and the GDR , capitalism and communism . GDR border guards sit in watchtowers and watch the hustle and bustle just a few meters away in West Berlin. If East Berlin shows itself beyond the Wall as a sea of houses of gray facades, Kreuzberg also looks like a "forgotten" gray district in which - separated from the rest of West Berlin by the Wall and the Landwehr Canal - alternative ways of life and the everyday life of migrants coexist . It shows the arrangement with the wall; East and West had come to terms with it and it had become normal.
The panorama is accompanied by private photographs from divided Berlin, which give an insight into everyday life in the divided city. In addition, film excerpts from a film documentation on the topic are shown.
