How to get a piece of the Berlin wall
It made me
happy
 "I got my piece of the Wall 1 week after it fell, I was stationed in Berlin during that time and I chipped it off myself (I have two pieces framed with the Berlin Observer and the Stars and Stripes issue commemorating the event.)"
How I did it: I broke it off with a hammer, after having a few drinks with some buddies at the barracks, we decided to go down to the wall and get a piece. It was one week after the wall fell and at that time off limits to us. We got down there and spoke with an East German guard who was standing on the other side of the wall, (there were holes all over at this time) we gave him a beer and spoke in our broken German to him. Lessons & tips: Be in the Army and stationed in Berlin next time the wall comes down Resources: a bottle of whiskey and 5 Army mates |

My best friend is from East Berlin and she brought me a piece one time. I haven’t ever actually been to Berlin yet but it’s on my 43 places and I won’t have to pay for accomodations :) That goes back to the host a foreign exchange student goal…
Buy it!

I have a piece of the Berlin wall that I bought. There is very little of the wall still intact which is left as a memorial. Please don’t take a piece from what is still standing. If everyone did that it wouldn’t be there – duh! You can still find plenty of places selling pieces from what was originally torn down.
