I wanted to see it, touch it. What remained of it, the ruins, twenty-two years after its demolition; Deep down, that was the purpose of the trip. Or perhaps just a way to reflect myself in the zeitgeist, what could have been the passage through the history of a place full of meanings, identities of opposing doctrines. For our generation, the totem of <em>free people<\/em>; of a before and after of the world described in history books, onto which each one of us has been able to project some of our own utopias. A plastic representation of geopolitics, even thow that wasn\u2019t it what we called it in those days. And with one photograph in particular I wanted to pay homage to those who looked out on that breach in the Wall on the evening of November 9, 1989. Those wild eyes, a radiant face, the impression of being the creators of a new world order.<\/p>\n<p>Having calmed down the historical testimony, walking through its streets, then the redemption of the &#8220;<em>Neue Stadt<\/em>&#8221; appeared to me. Of the museum island. Memorials as a perpetual reminder. Improvised hipster <em>bands<\/em>. Of the markets and the &#8220;<em>curry<\/em><em>w\u00fcrst<\/em>&#8220;. Of the zoo of the same name, also fixed in our mind by that film. The modern \u201c<em>Einkaufszentrum<\/em>\u201d. And the artistic navel of multicultural Berlin in <em>Kreuzberg<\/em> among the ruins of the last, old houses still in ruins from the last war, with the walls transfigured by multicolored &#8220;<em>murals<\/em>&#8220;.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;16px&#8221;][vc_btn title=&#8221;Back&#8221; color=&#8221;black&#8221; size=&#8221;sm&#8221; i_icon_fontawesome=&#8221;fas fa-arrow-alt-circle-left&#8221; add_icon=&#8221;true&#8221; link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.andreacalestani.it%2Fen%2Furban-stories%2F|title:Urban%20stories|&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;3\/4&#8243;][vc_masonry_media_grid grid_id=&#8221;vc_gid:1707747917211-1377b52a64797ad65039200d5bd45ab8-10&#8243; include=&#8221;2371,2373,2375,2377,2379,2381,2383,2385,2387,2389,2391,2393,2395,2397,2399,2401,2355,2357,2361,2359,2363,2365,2367,2369&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1707748402951{border-top-width: 3px !important;border-right-width: 3px !important;border-bottom-width: 3px !important;border-left-width: 3px !important;border-left-color: #ffffff !important;border-left-style: initial !important;border-right-color: #ffffff !important;border-right-style: initial !important;border-top-color: #ffffff !important;border-top-style: initial !important;border-bottom-color: #ffffff !important;border-bottom-style: initial !important;}&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1707747990788{margin-right: 50px !important;}&#8221;]\u201cBERLINER MAUER\u201d: The Berlin Wall.
