A quarter-century after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the city said it would build a barrier to protect the longest surviving stretch from a sharp rise in vandalism.

The so-called East Side Gallery, a 1.3km long slab which artists covered with murals months after the Cold War symbol was breached on Nov 9, 1989, still draws up to three million tourists per year.
