A a it a still there. Exactly 30 years and the Wall Hasni to budged a he complains. The Wall in front of Eckerty a Garden is the Berlin Wall the 100-mile-Long Symbol of the cold War that was built 30 years ago to Stop East germans from fleeing to the West. Most of the world thinks it was All torn Down at the end of 1989. But More than 10 Miles of it remain As officials from Berlin and the neighbouring state of Brandenburg argue Over How to finance the remaining demolition. Eckert is not alone in his disgust. Most berliners on the Western Border of the City want the rest of the Wall to disappear. The Wall is also causing controversy in the City Center near Bernauer Strasse where officials want to keep a segment of it standing As a memorial to the 78 people who died trying to Cross from East to West and not least As a tourist site for a City that is losing what was once a prime attraction. Two years ago the Wall still encircled West Berlin isolating the part of the City run by Britain France and the United states since world War ii from East Germany. The communists began building the Wall in 1961 after More than 2.7 million East germans fled the stalinist state for the West Many by simply taking the subway or commuter train to West Berlin where they either stayed or flew from there to West Germany. But As East Germany a communist government fell in the autumn of 1989, the Wall was opened. The next Spring work started on its removal. The goal was to have it All cleared away by the Walls 30th anniversary tuesday. But these plans went away and no one knows when the Wall will be torn Down or How Nuch of it will remain. A i can to Call the process satisfying a said Helmut Trotnow of the German historical museum which has worked to preserve a part of the Wall As a memorial. The City government has approved the memorial but also said that a four Lane Road should be built in the same Vicinity leaving Little room for the memorial Trotnow said. And with much of the Wall destroyed by souvenir Hunters most of what visitors will see would have to be replicated he said. A most of the Wall will have to be restored because people have chipped away at it. We will also have to rebuild at least one watchtower which was thoughtlessly pulled Down last year a Trotnow said. The 100-Yard stretch of Wall in the Center City is encircled by a High Fence to keep ravenous a Wall peckers from finishing it off. At the other end of town the situation is reversed.
