Monument "The Wall - Divider and Uniter"
Memorial site

The memorial site at Elizabetes Street in Kronvalda Park was opened in September 1992 after a fragment of the dismantled Berlin Wall was exhibited in Riga. In 1992, it was combined into a single memorial ensemble with a fragment of the concrete wall erected near the Saeima building during the 1991 Barricades and installed in Kronvalda Park at Elizabetes Street, next to the World Trade Center. An altar for laying flowers is attached to the monument with an inscription in Latvian and German: “After the exhibition of the Berlin Wall Museum “Haus am Checkpoint Charlie” in Riga in November 1990, the museum director Dr. Rainer Hildebrands presented this fragment of the wall to the capital of Latvia.”

In 2011, the monument was restored and the territory was improved. An information plaque with text in Latvian, German, English and Russian was installed. The barricade blocks were supplemented with historical inscriptions in Latvian and Russian: “The Berlin Wall divided us, the Riga Wall unites us. Let us only love our neighbor, and pray to God for our enemy.”
