Berlin Trip : Berlin War Memorial (Border Signal Fence Post)

It is true that this is of niche interest, but that is true for a great deal of this blog, so that’s fine. It’s the remains of a post that was set into the base of the former Sophienfriedhof (Sophien Cemetery) wall. As with my previous post, it’s irrelevant in many ways, but this fence and adjoining wall represented decades of suffering and splitting families apart. That yearning for freedom needs to be remembered so that no political leader in the future tries to shove a wall across the centre of one of the larger cities in the world. So that’s my excuse for being excited to take a photo of a bit of rusty fence post and the remains of a wall to a cemetery.
