The record
Five connected Wall segments that once stood in Treptow, set up in 1999 on a green in front of the Villa Haiss art museum and last described in the press in 2014.
The Badische Zeitung, in a tour of the pieces of the Berlin Wall in southern Baden published on 4 November 2014, found five connected parts of the Wall standing, half hidden, on a green in front of a former industrialist's villa in Zell am Harmersbach: the Villa Haiss, a museum of contemporary art. The wall once stood in the Treptow district; its back is concrete grey and its front brightly sprayed. According to the paper the collector Walter Bischoff had it set up in 1999, for the tenth anniversary of the fall of the Wall, after ten years in storage, at a cost of 72,000 marks including transport and setting up, and had the graffiti conserved.
Nothing later has been read, and the museum's websites did not respond in November 2026, so whether the segments still stand is not confirmed.
How did it get here?
From the Treptow district of Berlin; set up by the collector Walter Bischoff in 1999 (Badische Zeitung, 2014).
