"This is 'Ostalgia' in action. Touch screens, sound effects and even the 'DDR Game' mean that the more distasteful aspects of East German life are cheerfully glossed over."

Admire this open-air art gallery by walking from one end of the wall to the other... note the Bruderkuss. The morning light is best for photos.
