The record
One segment from near the Brandenburg Gate, in the atrium of the World Trade Centre, given to the city for its 350th birthday in 1992.
The segment in the Centre de Commerce Mondial is indoors and publicly accessible, and it is well documented in photographs. The City of Montréal’s public-art register lists it as city property, a gift from the City of Berlin for Montréal’s 350th anniversary in 1992, 3.6 metres high, 1.2 metres wide and 15 centimetres thick, "apparently" from near the Brandenburg Gate and of the fourth generation of the Wall.
