The Wall has many stories, but do you already know its Persian side?

This extraordinary tour takes you on a fascinating quest for traces along the Berlin Wall and reveals the most important historical sites where Persian and German fates intersected in surprising ways during the Cold War.

Experience the moving stories of Persian artists who lived as emigrants in both West and East Germany and witnessed the fall of the Wall up close. Their works of art and personal stories reflect universal themes such as separation, hope and reunification, which extend far beyond Berlin.

The history of Berlin and Germany during the Cold War is inextricably linked with Persia. We will shed light on key events such as the epochal visit of the Shah in 1967 and the German student movement that emerged from it – turning points that decisively shaped not only German–Persian relations but also West Germany's view of the countries of the Global South.
