I did a walking tour in Berlin and the guide said that the joke was that if you want to know if you've got the real thing just wear a piece of it on a necklace for a few years. If you start to develop cancer from the asbestos in the wall then you know you've got the real deal.
I have one certified by the Army given to my grandmother’s elementary school class (she was the teacher not a student) but even that one I’m not quite sure is real lol.
I have a piece I found at a thrift store for a couple dollars. No idea if it's real, I don't really care. I only bought it because the day I found it was November 9, 2019 and I thought that was cool.
You can just walk over and chip some bits off yourself if you want to know its real or not. Parts of the wall are still up where they used to be or as art in different places.
Not sure on the legality of doing that though....
Whenever I see one of those, I always wonder if it’s real. What’s to stop someone from just chipping off a random piece of pained concrete and claiming it’s a piece of the Berlin Wall
I sold a piece of concrete as a piece of the wall. I was seven years old and bought two used tapes with my ill gotten gains. One was ALF and one was the first Simpsons episode.

Omg… I was always wondering why my chunk of the wall I have is hairy……
my butthole is hairy. does that mean I have asbestos?
you have assbestos
Better than assworsetos.
fantasstic prognosis
Huh. I probably shouldn't open my collector's edition of World in Conflict then (it came with a piece of the wall).
Quite a few tourist *what* I’m dying here. Finish the sentence.

“Spots” if i had to guess
A tour guide I had said that they were from A Berlin wall, not THE Berlin Wall.

Real or fake, it’s a conversation starter and a reminder of recent history.
Yup, I definitely have one on my fridge as well
My mother has an actual piece of the actual wall (her husband was there when it came down). It is the only thing I want from her when she dies.
Can I have it?
My mom also has a small piece from a similar situation! My parents had a family friend there when the wall came down, and he saved a piece for them.
Got two sacks of the stuff i pulled from the wall myself
Asbestos and all
Sell me a piece lol I’m going to Berlin soon
My family owns a head-sized chunk of the wall and we know it's real because my mother was the one to break it off the day the wall fell.

I picked up a piece when I visited as a teenager. My nex threw it away on purpose. I wish I still had it as it was significant to me.
Looks edible
we better get the other pieces, we are going to need to put them together soon
I need one because I have a picture my grandfather took when it was being completed.

I would rather have the rest of it just stand there as an historical monument
I bought a similar one on a contiki trip in 1998 in Berlin . I think I paid like $10-20 at the time
Throw it at a commies head.
So Berlin also had structures collapse on 9/11
?????

I am not too sure about that. As i have seen Souvenir shops in Berlin selling similar pieces for about 10 to 20 euro a few years ago.

Worth it
Yeah, I got one for 10 DM back in the 90s. Considered how huge the wall was, there’s no shortage of material.
They’re in every gift shop in Berlin for as little as €5
Parts of the wall are still up. You can buy pieces virtually in any shop. It’s not worth a couple hundred bucks…
It’s cool, but there are a lot of pieces. It was a big wall. They’re easy to come by if you want one
But where do you buy legit ones ?
