To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, the temporary LICHTGRENZE (Border of Light) a light installation, illuminated by 8,000 helium balloons will trace the route of the former inner-city division in Berlin from the 7th – 9th of November. The 15.3 kilometer frontier that once divided the city will be re-imagined in light by thousands of illuminated balloons, following the former route of the Berliner Mauer: the LICHTGRENZE (or border of lights).
The brothers Christopher Bauder and Marc Bauder conceived the idea of the LICHTGRENZE in 2011, supported by the Robert-Havemann-Gesellschaft e.V. and developed with the help of Kulturprojekte Berlin GmbH.
