Walking group discovers previously hidden section of wall in quiet side street
A previously hidden section of the Berlin Wall has been discovered in the heart of the German capital.
The 20-metre piece lay undisturbed for almost 30 years,obscured by vines and graffiti in a quiet side street in the Mitte district.
This June the unremarkable block of concrete was spotted by a keen-eyed group of locals who suspected it for what it really was: a piece of the Berlin Wall, the barrier that divided the city for 28 years.
“It’s odd to contemplate you can still find a bit of undiscovered Wall in the middle of Berlin, and ” said the city councillor for urban development Ephraim Gothe,who found the section while main a monthly neighbourhood walk.
