”I like to go to the small memorial chapel at Bernauer Strasse and meditate. It's located where the former border strip of the Berlin Wall used to be. The original church was blown up during the division but later reconstructed and there's so much history there. In general I'm just glad to be in this city enjoying my day. Berlin has so much culture, so much to offer. I like to go to the flea markets or just to spend the day with my friends or girlfriend. It's the little things - my best day is every day!” The Protestant Church of the Reconciliation Parish was located within the death strip behind the eastern side of the wall and thus inaccessible, becoming a symbol of the divided Germany. It was destroyed by the East Germans in 1985 and rebuilt as The Chapel of Reconciliation in 2000 after German reunification. It's now part of the Berlin Wall Memorial which stretches along Bernauer Strasse.
