Preserving the East Side Gallery — Permanently and in Line with Monument Protection
The Wall Speaks. We Preserve Its Voice.
The LIVING BAUHAUS Art Foundation (SbR) is responsible for the annual maintenance and restoration of 31 segments of the East Side Gallery — including the wall’s crown and base. All measures comply with monument preservation requirements and, in coordination with the ESG artists’ initiative, the artworks on the front side are restored as faithfully to the original as possible. A cooperation with the Berlin Wall Foundation is in preparation.
Since 2013, the regular cleaning of the five murals as well as the back of the wall has also been part of the foundation’s responsibilities — financed in part through donations.
