After unification the Berlin wall so to say became a relic but rather than preserving it was brought down and sold as memorabilias for tourists, available in shops
Today the Berlin Wall can be found all over the globe.
Parts of the wall that are still there are defaced by sticking chewing gum by tourists. Looks like a piece of art though
Have you been there and did you stick chewing gum too?

Long seen as a hero in the struggle that culminated in fall of communism, capitalism is playing a role in the Berlin Wall's demise.

Oh wow. This reminds me of a wall in San Luis Obispo up north . . . Bubblegum Alley. But that wall doesn't have historical significance like the Berlin Wall.
Out here, we do have a piece of the Berlin Wall, but no one is allowed to get too close to it. There is security and cameras all over the place.
Perched atop a hill with sweeping views of the southland, the Reagan Library is one of California's most beautiful and unique destinations. View Air Force One, recreations of the White House's Oval Office, a piece of the Berlin Wall, and many more.

@allknowing It's good that this piece of history has found many homes throughout the world. But it's sad that that piece of it had gotten gum ridden.

That is what I said in my post. The Berlin Wall has found a place in the whole world.

We would not stick chewing gum on anything, but some people are strange.
