Located by the Spree River near the Reichstag building, the White Crosses memorial commemorates those who lost their lives at the Berlin Wall. Originally established in 1971, the site was reconstructed in 2003 and designed by artist Jan Wehberg. The crosses symbolize the tragic losses incurred during Berlin's division.
