The Parliament of Trees

The Parliament of Trees (also known as The Parliament of Trees against war and violence) is a memorial for the death victims of the Berlin Wall, which was installed on 9 November 1990 by performance artist Ben Wagin.

Wagin established the memorial on a site of the former death strip on the eastern shore of the Spree opposite to the German Parliament in Berlin-Mitte.

There he arranged memorial stones, pictures, posters and pieces of the facilities that were used to defend the border.

[2] On 3 October 1997 Wagin lit 999 torches, which recreated the course of the Berlin Wall.

Part of this is the newly built Marie-Elisabeth-Lüders-Haus, which to some extent developed on the ground of The Parliament of Trees.
