Placard leans against the former Berlin Wall, now called East Side Gallery, in Berlin
A placard, left over from yesterday's protest, leans against the former Berlin Wall, now called East Side Gallery, in Berlin March 4, 2013. Protesters tried to stop demolition of one of the last remaining stretches of the Berlin Wall on March 1, 2013, decades after jubilant Berliners tore down sections of the hated symbol of the Cold War. Most of the wall was pulled down or chiselled away after it was breached on November 9, 1989, when ecstatic crowds of East and West Germans surged through checkpoints and on to the wall, hacking bits off it and dancing on top of the structure that for so long had symbolised their division. The placard reads: "Living on the death strip". The banner reads: "No one has the intention to erect luxury apartments," echoing the historic quote by East German leader Walter Ulbricht: "No one has the intention to erect a wall."
