Berlin Wall Memorial

Background

The logotype by gewerkdesign for the Berlin Wall Memorial at Bernauer Straße 111 was first published in 1999.

It consists of the three delicate numerals 1 and the words »Berliner Mauer – Dokumentationszentrum«, alluding to the address of the memorial and the division of the Berlin Wall into three parts: the eastern wall, the death zone, and the western wall. The logotype is very flexible because the space in between the numerals is variable and responds to the width of the print product.

As the Berlin Wall Memorial and the Marienfelde Refugee Centre Memorial were combined by a superordinate institution in 2009 – the Foundation of the Berlin Wall – their respective logotypes were redesigned and made to fit together harmonically.
