Der Eintrag
Ein Segment vom Potsdamer Platz am letzten Bahnhof vor Nordkorea, zwischen einer Tafel, die eine beendete Teilung markiert, und einer Uhr, die eine zählt, die nicht beendet ist.
Die ausführliche Geschichte, die Herkunft und die Quellenangaben dieses Eintrags liegen bislang nur auf Englisch vor.
A segment left Berlin on 22 July 2015 for one of the most pointed destinations in this catalogue. It was among the last of the thirty-five segments that Sony transferred to the Land of Berlin in 2005 for non-commercial use, and the Berlin Senate sent it to South Korea, to the Platform of Reunification at Dorasan station — the northernmost point of the South Korean rail network, on the border with the North.
It was inaugurated on 14 October 2015 by the German president Joachim Gauck, the South Korean unification minister Hong Yong-pyo and the president of the railway company KORAIL, Choi Yeon-hye. Gauck and Hong unveiled a copper plate carrying appeals from both heads of state: from President Park Geun-hye, create a reunified Korea and help the world become more peaceful; from Gauck, together for a life in freedom. Choi produced a map with a rail line that might one day run from Korea to Berlin, and said that Gauck's visit to one of the few countries still divided would give Koreans hope.
What makes the installation work is what stands either side of it. On the left a panel records that the German division ended on 3 October 1990. On the right a clock counts the Korean one, which has not.
