Zwei Originalelemente neben dem Europäischen Museum Schengen, etwa hundert Meter von der Stelle entfernt, an der das Schengener Abkommen 1985 die Grenzkontrollen abschaffte.
Die ausführliche Geschichte, die Herkunft und die Quellenangaben dieses Eintrags liegen bislang nur auf Englisch vor.
The two elements at Schengen stand on the Moselle, beside the agreement monument — three brass stars — and a colonnade of nations. The Schengen Agreement was signed on 14 June 1985, about a hundred metres away. It is arguably the best-sited piece in Europe: a border that could not be crossed, a hundred metres from the place where border controls were abolished.
The two did not arrive together. The Centre Européen Schengen, which runs the museum, says one was a gift from the Berlin Senate in 2010 and the other was added in 2015, painted with a peace dove and a portrait of Mikhail Gorbachev. Who gave the second is not stated.
Wie kam es hierher?
One of the two elements was a gift from the Senate of Berlin in 2010, the year the museum opened; the museum's operator records the other as added in 2015, with a peace dove and a portrait of Gorbachev, and does not say who gave it.
