The record

A segment that stood in Leopold Park behind the European Parliament until it was moved in 2021.

A segment stood in Leopold Park, behind the European Parliament, until it was moved in 2021. It has not vanished: it is one of the two elements now standing in glass cubes beside the visitor entrance to the Parliament's plenary chamber, placed there under a conservation project run by the Belgian state, the Brussels-Capital Region and the Parliament. This element came originally from Potsdamer Platz.

The record is kept rather than folded into the new one, because a catalogue holding one position and no history of positions will be wrong within a few years.

How did it get here?
