Berlin Wall Graffiti - Montreal, Qc, Canada - Graffiti on Waymarking.com

A segment of the Berlin Wall has been given by the city of Berlin to the city of Montréal in 1992 for its 350th birthday.

The wall is constantly exposed to the Centre de Commerce Mondial, in the Ruelle des Fortifications.


"The wall itself started as an overnight barbed wire creation in August of 1961. It resulted from the constant disputes of the “East” and “West” over the status of Allied occupied Berlin and Germany. It came to symbolize the Cold War and was the most “concrete” expression of the Iron Curtain that existed throughout the period.

The art of the wall was a product of the eighties when the wall was reconstructed with prefabricated concrete slabs 14 feet high. This provided a perfect canvas for the artists of the dynamic international community of West Berlin. The artists were soon joined by the multitude of visitors to the wall in creating the potpourri of art, graffiti, and messages for which the wall became the focus."
