A four-kilometre stretch of the former wall site was lined with artworks from local artists, reflecting the themes of "Freedom" and "Unity."

The Berlin Wall, erected in 1961, stood as a symbol of the Cold War dividing East and West Berlin until its fall in 1989.

The anniversary celebrations, which include exhibitions, concerts, and talks, highlight the history of this iconic barrier and its impact on Berlin's culture. Events such as the upcoming "Hold Freedom Up High!" programme, featuring thousands of musicians, will mark the occasion until March 2025.
