(Reuters) - Tourists walk beside restored segments of East Side Gallery, the largest remaining part of the former Berlin Wall, in Berlin October 30, 2009. A 1,300 metres (4,265 ft) stretch of wall, the world's longest open-air art gallery, was decorated by 118 artists from 21 countries in 1990, but has since been damaged by the weather, exhaust fumes, vandals, and souvenir-seeking tourists. The restoration work is expected to be completed in time for the 20-year anniversary in November of the fall of the wall which once divided communist East Berlin from capitalist west Berlin.

The bombed-out church makes no attempt to hide its scars, the contrast of its decapitated steeple and the serene stained glass of the new chapel are sobering testaments to the city's ongoing struggle to deal with the wounds of WWII.
