The Government of Germany is repairing the Berlin Wall, which was created to divide Germany in two parts East and West. The authorities want to restore the vestiges of the wall, which is an attraction to the tourists, wanting to see the wall that well represented the traces of the cold war between the two.

The 160 km (100 miles) of Berlin Wall that bordered West Berlin at the centre of Communist East Germany was speedily pulled down in joy, after declaration that approved the people of East Germany to make free entry and exit to West Germany in 1989. Only few walls were left after the people reunited within a year on October 3, 1990. Only three out of the 302 ominous East German guard towers were still standing at their place.

As per the Mayor of Berlin, “That’s understandable from today’s point of view and it would have probably been better for tourists if more of it could have been preserved,” he told Reuters. “But at that time we were all just so happy to see the Wall gone”.

Some of the wall slabs were sold which raised a fund of 2 million which was around $1 million at the time. Around 300 East German border guards and 600 West German soldiers worked together to pull down the remaining walls converting it into 300,000 tons of concrete mass.
