„Sinkende Mauer“, Christophe Girot, 1997

In Invalidenpark, which was restored and partially redesigned between 1996 and 1998, the fountain installation “Sinkende Mauer” (Falling Wall), created by Christophe Girot, has stood since 1997: a walkable wall rises diagonally from a water basin, down which water flows in the summer. The monument is intended to commemorate both the Gnadenkirche, which was demolished in 1967, and the “disappearance” of the Berlin Wall.
