Parliament of Trees. This is a memorial to the victims of the Berlin Wall, born from the inspiration of the artist Ben Wargin, who designed the facility in 1990 on the route of the old east side boundary. The set, which includes segments of the wall, trees, headstones, images, texts and various remains and testimonies of the border, was created by a collective of artists. The names of 258 victims of the wall are inscribed on granite slabs. The site had to be reduced during the construction of the building Marie-Elisabeth Lüders Building, which houses the library of the German parliament (in the background on photos 92, 93 and 94). Public access to the memorial is located on the Boardwalk Schiffbauerdamm, along the Spree. The route of the wall here to lend confusion. The political border between East Berlin and West Berlin, which was decisive for the fugitives, followed the south bank of the Spree, near the Reichstag, while the physical separation wall had been installed by the GDR authorities of the across the Spree, that is to say, on the north shore.
