In 1989, a veritable steppe stretches between the Landwehr Canal, Potsdamer Platz and the Reichstag in Berlin. Along the no-man's land of the border strip runs the Wall, which continues to divide East and West. The west side in the Tiergarten district is nevertheless bustling with activity, especially at weekends when the Krempelmarkt (junk market) attracts tourists and bargain hunters. The Wall here is a densely graffiti-covered souvenir motif, perfect for sightseeing by bike or even by magnetic train. Guests and locals alike linger on the steps of the Reichstag, while hundreds of families of Turkish origin relax with a picnic in the Tiergarten parks.
