Newly Discovered Berlin Wall Segment To Get Protected Status

BERLIN (AP) — A recently discovered remnant of the Berlin Wall from the heavily fortified border's early days is being given protected status, city authorities said Monday. The announcement by the city government's culture ministry came on the day when the wall has been open for as long as it divided Berlin: 28 years, two months and 26 days. An amateur historian said last month that he had found the 80-meter (260-foot) stretch of wall and reported it to authorities because of concerns about its condition. The old brick wall in the city's Pankow district was incorporated into communist East Germany's original fortifications when the border with West Berlin was sealed in 1961.
