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 by 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: North on Grant Avenue, right on Stimson Avenue,

site is located outside and is open daily. Call 800-844-4114
