The record
Three elements in Hertha BSC's blue and white with two holes cut through for shooting practice, at the gate by the club's offices.
Three wall elements stand at the entrance gate to the Olympic grounds beside the offices of Hertha BSC, painted in the club's colours and pierced with two holes, so that the Wall has become a Torwand — the goal wall German fairground and television football uses for shooting practice. The Berlin Wall Foundation lists them in its directory of surviving traces as MAU-737, photographed in 2020.
Hertha made a goal wall from original pieces of the Wall for the thirtieth anniversary of its fall. The club unveiled it at the East Side Gallery on 11 October 2019, with players and the coach Ante Čović, as a project with artists from its own fan scene, and set it up at the stadium for the home match on 9 November 2019, where supporters could test their aim.
Neither the club nor the Foundation says in so many words that the 2019 goal wall and the three elements at the gate are the same object, although they almost certainly are, and the record keeps the two facts side by side rather than joining them. Of all the uses the Wall has been put to in this catalogue, being kicked at is one of the more cheerful.
