10. Schengan, Luxembourg
This simple slice of the wall is in a village with a population of only 2000, but it does have a historical significance. The tiny town in southeast Luxembourg was where the Schengen Agreement was signed, which allows citizens of 26 European countries to travel freely between them without border control. It stands outside the European Museum.
11. Vatican City
Even the Vatican has a piece of Berlin history on display. It stands in a peaceful garden where popes have prayed since the 13th century. Apparently a former Ferrari director won it at a Monte Carlo auction and gave to the Vatican as a gift in 1994.
12. New York, New York
Many tourists and locals have no idea a large swatch of the Berlin Wall stands in Midtown Manhattan until they stumble upon it in a courtyard near East 53rd Street and Madison Avenue. Then it’s hard to miss the five 12 foot tall panels covered in angry graffiti and a dystopian face. It has been the backdrop of this public square since 1990 – but don’t look for it right now. No, the wall has not fallen yet again. It’s just undergoing a little restoration work at the moment and should return to its post later this year.
