In 2005, the South Korean capital Seoul opened its Berlin Square. Alongside the three sections of the Berlin Wall, and the bear that is so symbolic of Berlin, there are also original Berlin benches and trees and even a street lamp. Like Berlin during the Cold War, Korea’s history is one of division. The monument is intended to express the hope that one day South and North Korea can be reunited.
