Dieses Stück der Berliner Mauer befindet sich vor dem Museum "Runde Ecke" in Leipzig. Es wurde am 09.11.2009 zum 20. Jahrestag des Mauerfalls aufgestellt. Die Inschrift lautet:

Dieses Betonfragment war Teil der Mauer, die Berlin und Deutschland
teilte. 28 Jahre lang war sie Mittel und Zeichen der Unterdrückung.
Überwunden durch die friedliche Revolution in Ostdeutschland im
Jahr 1989, sind ihre Teile heute Symbol für die Kraft von Freiheit und
Selbstbestimmung - aber auch ein Mahnmal für deren immerwährende
Gefährdung.
Ein Geschenk von BILD an den Freistaat Sachsen, die Stadt Leipzig und
das Bürgerkomitee Leipzig e.V. zum 20. Jahrestag des Mauerfalls am
9. November 1989 - in Erinnerung an den Zeitungsgründer Axel Springer
(1912 - 1985) - der gegen alle Widerstände an seinem Traum von der
Einheit Deutschlands festhielt.


This is a piece of the Berlin Wall in front of the museum "Runde Ecke" in Leipzig. It was erected for the 20th anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall on 9th November 1989. The (translated) inscription reads:

This concrete fragment was part of the wall, that divided Berlin and
Germany. For 28 years it was a means and symbol of oppression.
Overcome by the peaceful revolution of 1989 in East Germany,
their parts are now a symbol of the power of freedom and
self-determination - but also a memorial for their everlasting
harassment.
A gift from BILD to the Free State of Saxony, the city of Leipzig and
the Bürgerkomitee (Citizens Committee) Leipzig e.V. for the 20th
anniversary of the Fall of the Wall on 9th November 1989 - in memory
of the newspaper founder Axel Springer (1912 - 1985) - who adhered
against the odds in his dream of a united Germany.
