Picture shows me and the Berlin Wall in summer 1979

This site is dedicated to the Berlin-Wall. My very first love. I loved him since he was born (in 1961), and he still is very dear to me. But looking at photos of the Berlin Wall didn't prepare me for when I first met him in 1977. Seeing him for real, being close to him, touching him.......mere words cannot describe my ecstasy. To me 9th of November 1989 was a catastrophe. Watching television coverage of my husband being torn apart. I can never forgive them for doing that. If you would like a further insight into my relationship with the Berlin Wall, I suggest you take a look at the Why The Berlin Wall and other constructions?.

The Berlin Wall at Harzer Straße, photo taken at my first visit to Berlin in 1977. This shows the original Wall built in 1961. I am especially fond of these old parts of the Berlin-Wall... Click on the image to get it larger. Photo: Berliner-Mauer, Liden, Sweden.

This picture is also the Berlin Wall at Harzer Straße, but between the Walls. To the right a newer Wall. This picture is taken from East Berlin side with other words. I wanted to see what the Wall looked like from East, and also needed some pictures for model building. Click on the image to get it larger. Photo: Berliner-Mauer, Liden, Sweden.
