Berlin Wall fragment located in Santo Domingo

A fragment of the Berlin Wall is located in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, serving as a symbol of freedom, democracy, and bilateral cooperation between Germany and the Dominican Republic.

The reinforced concrete piece measures 1.2 by 3.6 meters. It features illustrations by Dominican artist Martín José López Reyes in a work titled ‘Totem: for human rights, democracy, and freedom’.

Donated by the Federal Republic of Germany to the city of Santo Domingo to commemorate the fall of the Wall, the fragment was inaugurated on May 25, 2021. Following its arrival via diplomatic channels, it was moved in February 2022 to the front garden of the National Museum of History and Geography within the Juan Pablo Duarte Cultural Center complex.
