Located at Fort Leavenworth, this monument memorializes the historic barrier that separated West and East Berlin during the Cold War.  After the destruction of the Berlin Wall in 1989, concrete sections were given to President Ronald Reagan of the U.S. Commander of the Berlin Brigade.  Three sections were subsequently donated to Fort Leavenworth because of the worldwide influence of the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College.

The design of the memorial expresses three themes:  a “falling position” representing the crumbling of the Wall; a horizontal position representing the Wall’s destruction; and a vertical position representing that democracy stands.  Directions:  From the Buffalo Soldier Monument, follow sidewalk next to the lake to the east. 

NOTE:  A government-issued photo ID is required to enter the fort.
