Every year we remember the fall of the Berlin Wall.

This historic event is not only marked by complex political upheavals, but is also accompanied by a multitude of personal stories and perspectives. Sometimes these contradict each other. But who actually remembers what?

Memory is not neutral. It is shaped by individual perspectives, cultural contexts, and societal power structures. Which voices are heard, and which remain in the background? Who is allowed to have a say when it comes to remembering, and who is excluded? In what context do we remember? And what significance does memory have for the present?

Forms of remembrance of November 9, 1989 can also be found in the collection and the oral history archive of the Berlin Wall Foundation. The objects displayed here offer an insight into important milestones of commemoration and remembrance at Bernauer Strasse and highlight the many ways in which the history of the Berlin Wall is dealt with.
