Berlin Wall: The East Side gallery is restored
The Berlin Wall's longest remaining stretch has been restored to its state of nearly two decades ago after artists repainted the colourful murals they created in the aftermath of the notorious barrier's opening. The restored section of the concrete wall, which is known as the East Side Gallery, snakes along the bank of the Spree river for three quarters of a mile (1.3 kilometres)

Over the past year, nearly 90 artists from around the world gathered again to repaint their original creations. Birgit Kinder recreates her painting of a Trabant breaking through the wall
