The East Side Gallery is a surviving portion of the Wall known for its murals and is one of the citys main tourist attractions. Germany will commemorate the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, which was one of the many, sweeping events across central and eastern Europe as the Cold War came to an end, in November. The Berlin Wall, built by the communist authorities of the former East Germany, divided the city from 1961-1989. At least 138 people were killed while trying to flee from East Berlin into West Berlin. (Photo by Sean Gallup/Getty Images)
