Der Eintrag
Platten der Hinterlandmauer in Privatbesitz auf einem aktiven Kai, mit einer beschädigten Echtheitstafel und Graffiti, die wahrscheinlich nicht original sind.
Die ausführliche Geschichte, die Herkunft und die Quellenangaben dieses Eintrags liegen bislang nur auf Englisch vor.
Segments of roughly six by ten feet stand on the southern side of Long Wharf, near DiMillo's floating restaurant. They are recorded as pieces of the Hinterlandmauer — the inner wall, the one facing East Berlin, which was plain — and the painting on them is described in the source as the usual fabricated graffiti of peace and patriotism rather than original Berlin work. Together with the Fort Knox record this is one of two places in the catalogue where the concrete is accepted and the surface is not, which is worth stating because the surface is what almost every photograph is of.
Wie kam es hierher?
Owned by Antonio “Toni” DiMillo, who holds much of Portland's port frontage, and reported to have been in his hands since the late 1990s. A damaged authentication plaque stands with them.

Deemed public safety risk, Portland’s Love Locks fence is coming down — Portland Press Herald ↗
July 2016: the planned replacement for the Love Locks fence was to stand on the Long Wharf promenade, which the younger DiMillo said was probably near a section of the Berlin Wall that is permanently displayed on the DiMillo property.
