Interrupted networks

Guided tour for the Open Monument Day 2026

On Open Monument Day, we take a look at the infrastructure of division and its traces in the urban space.

We all live in networks - but what happens when these are forcibly separated? The Lapidarium of the Berlin Wall Foundation brings together the structural infrastructure of a border that cut through social, urban and cultural connections for decades. Wall elements, watchtowers and lighting systems stand for a system that not only controlled spaces, but also interrupted and reorganized networks.
The tour shows how these structures functioned as part of a complex infrastructure and what traces they have left behind in our society to this day. At the same time, it asks how monuments can contribute to making interrupted connections visible and tangible again.Translated with DeepL
