Berlin Wall To Be Recreated For Berliner Festspiele Installation

“Pending final approval from Berlin city authorities, which organisers said was ‘in the works’, staff plan to erect 900 concrete wall slabs, each 3.60 metres (about 12 feet) tall, for the 6.6 million euro ($7.7 million) event. Visitors to the parallel world will have to apply online for entrance ‘visas’ … Set on a city block on Unter den Linden boulevard, the time-capsule project is due to launch on October 12 and end with a ritualistic tearing down of the wall on November 9, the day of the historic event in 1989.”
