The record
A segment on Andrássy út outside the House of Terror, given to Budapest in November 2010 for the twentieth anniversary of German reunification.
A segment stands on Andrássy út in front of the House of Terror, the museum in the building used successively by the Hungarian fascist and communist security services. It was unveiled on 11 November 2010 in the presence of Hungarian and German politicians, a gift to Budapest for the twentieth anniversary of German reunification. It stands near a monument to the Iron Curtain made largely of rusted chain — two borders, two materials, one argument.
How did it get here?
Given to Budapest for the twentieth anniversary of German reunification and unveiled on 11 November 2010. This record has named the donor as the Hohenschönhausen memorial, the former Stasi remand prison in Berlin, but none of the sources now cited does: the Hungarian news agency says only that the piece was given to the city.
