“Where was the Wall?”
30 years after the Berlin Wall fell, this question is very prevalent. Tourists as well as locals wander helplessly about the city since the marks of the separation have been obliterated. For the most part, at least. Berlin illustrator and urban sketcher Detlef Surrey, his sketchbook in hand, went on a very personal search for traces of the Wall – from Prenzlauer Berg to Treptow. His path along the former border strip touches on a wealth of historical sites from various phases of German history.
