+Michaelfiles Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Following the Event that came from this past in Berlin I had an Idea for a New Category and as it apparently does not exist, I ask the community to see what they think about it. On November 9, 1989, the Berlin Wall began to be destroyed by German youth. Now in 2019, Germany is celebrating the 30th anniversary of the fall of this wall, which is now found all over the world. Let's show the world where we can find them Below are some examples of this around the world In Belgium In New-York In Brasil In South-Afrika In South-Korea In Australia As you can see, they can be found on all five continents What do you think about it? The group has already been created too, and enroulement is openRemains of the Berlin Wall around the world 1 Quote Link to comment

I knew I had a posted a waymark related to the OP. Thx for all this information, i will try to delete everything also And i have found another Catégorie : Gifts from Other Countries But this is once again, in my opinion, that the organization of the Categories is to be reviewed Because these certain Category names are too vague or not precise enough Here, why not keep a name related to the description of the category which seems more explicit to me : "uprisings against the communist" Quote Link to comment
+PISA-caching Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 The category Relocated Structures might also apply, but then again a single piece of the Berlin wall "can (relatively) be moved easily"(?), which is one of the criteria for not being accepted there. Quote Link to comment

+elyob Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 The piece of wall nearest to my present location was published in the Gifts from Other Countries category. https://www.Waymarking.com/waymarks/WMYQWJ_Section_of_the_Berlin_Wall_Ottawa_Ontario Quote Link to comment

As an officer in that category, I can say we do accept these. I would also suggest you submit a waymark into the Preserved Architectural Remnants and Ruins category. Quote Link to comment
+Bernd das Brot Team Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Just because something fits into another category too doesn't mean it wouldn't deserve its own category. I would support an extra category for it. My favorite piece is the one in a men's room in a Las Vegas Casino. I would also not limit it to large pieces of the wall. A lot of individual stones or pieces of barbed wire ended up in museums and other public places. A gave a little (about 2 inches) stone to a friend in Malaysia and he put it in a wall in his house.

I would agree. This would be quite interesting to have all the Berlin Wall pieces into one category verses spread throughout the site. I wouldn't oppose to a new category, but I belive getting it through peer review may be challenging. Quote Link to comment
+PISA-caching Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Has anybody ever thought about the size of the pieces? On http://www.berliner-mauersteine.de/ everybody can buy pieces of the Berlin Wall in various sizes and display them somewhere. I myself bought such a (tiny) piece when I once visited Berlin. So, the description of that category should take note of the fact that thousands of small pieces are out there. Quote Link to comment

+Bernd das Brot Team Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 I think the determining factor should not be the size, but the "Public Display". The the 1-inch piece refrigerator magnet in your kitchen wouldn't count. A same-size piece publicly displayed in a restaurant or an airport (those are two of the places where I have seen pieces on display) would. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
