What you can expect

The Wall has many stories, but do you already know its Persian side?

This extraordinary tour takes you on a fascinating search for clues along the Berlin Wall and reveals the most important historical sites where Persian and German destinies crossed in surprising ways during the Cold War.

Experience the moving stories of Persian artists who lived as emigrants in both West and East Germany and witnessed the fall of the Wall first-hand. Their artworks and personal stories reflect universal themes such as separation, hope, and reunification that extend far beyond Berlin.

The history of Berlin and Germany in the Cold War is inextricably intertwined with Persia. We'll shed light on key events like the landmark Shah visit in 1967 and the German student movement that followed – turning points that decisively shaped not only German-Persian relations, but also the West German view of the countries of the Global South.
