The Marienfelde Refugee Center Museum invites you to discover the history of German division and the German-German migration movement from 1949 to 1990.
118 artists from 21 countries helped make the East Side Gallery in Berlin in 1990. It was the first time anyone had painted on the east side of the wall that had divided the city for 28 years.
The online exhibition on eastsidegalleryexhibition.com shows video interviews with artists and contemporary witnesses, various topics on the East Side Gallery and the artworks in their original state of 1990.
The online exhibition provides an insight into the personal stories of people who came to Germany as refugees in 2011/12 and lived for a time in the temporary accommodation for refugees in the immediate vicinity of the Marienfelde Refugee Reception Center.
“Risking Freedom” consists of five multimedia tours presenting exemplary stories about German-German escape assistance from 1961-1989. Each tour includes documents, films, and interviews with contemporary witnesses.
