Koblenz, Germany: The Berlin Wall

The park in the area where Koblenz's two great rivers come together is called Deutsches Eck. That translates to German Corner. Walk along the bank and you are bound to bump into this - three segments of the Berlin Wall.

This raised more questions than it answered, to be honest. The Berlin Wall was pretty big, but it must have been in demand as a symbol of liberty and freedom throughout the world. The Newseum in Washington, D.C., has a piece.

So how did they go about handing out pieces of the thing? First come, first served? Come and get it? Lottery?

I know, I think too much. Someone described reunification as the best thing that ever happened to Germany. Let's hope nations aren't divided this way again.
