The record
One 3.5 tonne section in front of the German club, unveiled on 3 October 1992 and said to have stood at Potsdamer Platz.
The section at the Harmonie German Club is recorded at 3.5 tonnes, 3.6 m high and nearly 2 m wide, and said to have stood at Potsdamer Platz near the Brandenburg Gate. The published width is a useful dimensional check: 2 m is well above the 1.2 m normally quoted for a Grenzmauer 75 element, which is either a measuring error in the source or evidence that "a segment" covers more than one product. Worth resolving against a physical measurement before either figure is asserted.
