Ein Element, das im Mai 1990 direkt vom geplanten Grenzübergang an der Bernauer Straße in den Innenhof des Weddinger Heimatmuseums gebracht wurde.
Die ausführliche Geschichte, die Herkunft und die Quellenangaben dieses Eintrags liegen bislang nur auf Englisch vor.
A wall element stands in the courtyard of the Mitte Museum on Pankstraße in Gesundbrunnen. It was set up there on 8 May 1990 as a gift to what was then the Heimatmuseum Wedding, and it came straight from the Wall: from the corner of Brunnenstraße and Bernauer Straße, where a new border crossing was being opened, to the museum under two kilometres to the north-west.
The museum itself was barely a year old. It had opened in 1989 in a parish school built in 1865–66, one of the oldest surviving school buildings in Berlin, and it has been the Mitte Museum since 2004. So a local history museum founded in the last year of the division took a piece of it, within six months of the border opening, from a street in its own district.
The Berlin Wall Foundation lists it in its directory of surviving traces as MAU-760. Nothing read here names the donor.
Wie kam es hierher?
Taken from the site of the planned crossing at Brunnenstraße and Bernauer Straße and set up on 8 May 1990 as a gift to the Heimatmuseum Wedding, now the Mitte Museum.
