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 locations 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 firsthand. Their works of art 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 will shed light on key events such as the epoch-making visit of the Shah in 1967 and the resulting German student movement – turning points that decisively shaped not only German-Persian relations, but also the West German view of the countries of the Global South.
