The record
Two segments on the grounds of the South Korean state institute that teaches reunification — identified at last, though how they arrived is not recorded.
Two segments of the Berlin Wall stand on the grounds of the National Institute for Unification Education in Seoul, the South Korean state body that trains teachers and officials in the question of reunification. Of the four sites recorded in this catalogue in and around Seoul, it is the one whose purpose is nearest to the object's own.
That is as far as the source goes. The Federal Foundation's entry for the site is a placeholder recording the two segments and promising more later, and nothing here fills that gap by inference: who gave them, when they came and where in Berlin they stood are all unknown.
The record is published now because the identification is settled. It had been held back as one of a group of Seoul records that could not be told apart — a city with at least four sites and several records carrying nothing but the city name — and the Foundation's own entry for this listing names the institute.
How did it get here?
Not established. The Federal Foundation's entry records the two segments without giving their origin.
