After contributing to the tremendous worldwide popularity of the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall in 2009, we once again took on the task of organising the celebrations marking the 25th anniversary of the event in autumn of 2014. We joined with multiple partners to create and implement a highly unique and symbolic visual attraction along the path of the Wall that had divided Berlin for 28 years. This time once again, images from the event were broadcast around the world. From 7 to 9 November, a line of 8,000 balloons lit up a 15-kilometre path that wound through the city, thereby providing a breathtaking embodiment of the dimension of the Wall that once divided the city. At several steles set up along the route, visitors were invited to hear the stories of many of the people whose lives had been significantly affected by the Wall. Roughly 2 million people visited this \u201cborder of lights\u201d on the anniversary weekend alone.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t

The starting point for our idea came from the insight that Berlin locals and tourists alike consistently show a great interest in two subjects above all, namely the Berlin Wall and the Nazi era in Berlin. However, only half of these individuals have any personal experience of the Wall. So we came up with the idea of bringing people closer to authentic historical sites and showing them exactly where the Wall had cut through Berlin for 28 years and what kinds of dramas had taken place on those very spots.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
