Most of the Berlin Wall was torn down in 1989, with the exception of a few stretches of concrete that were kept intact as a memorial to the difficult years of the Cold War.  But as Feargus O’Sullivan of CityLab reports, an amateur historian has alerted authorities to a 262-foot section of the wall that has continued to stand in an isolated suburban area for the past three decades.

Christian Bormann says that he has known about the forgotten relic since 1999, but only recently brought it to public attention because of concern that the dilapidated wall was at risk of collapsing. The section is located in an undeveloped space of land between a cemetery and the tracks of a railway. It seems to have gone unnoticed at the time when the rest of the wall was being torn down.
