One of Seoul's further sites, on the Konkuk University campus in Gwangjin-gu.

The object is a segment, made into a lettering sculpture. The university said in September 2013 that it had been given by the Mayor of Berlin in 1993 and set up, with its other sculptures of the world's scripts, on the right of the road that runs from the Sanghuh Memorial Library to the Sanghuh Gate. Nothing later was found. Seoul holds at least four documented sites — Berlin Square on the Cheonggyecheon stream, Dobong-gu, this campus and two more at the DMZ Museum near Sokcho that are not yet in the catalogue. No other capital outside Europe holds as many, which follows from the framing the Berlin Square record makes explicit: a gift from a city that was divided to a city in the last divided country.

Provenance: Given by the Mayor of Berlin in 1993, by the university's account of 2013.
