Room for Silence
Brandenburger Tor, Berlin, Germany
The Brandenburger Tor in Berlin, Germany is both a symbol for the division
of Germany after the Second World War and a symbol for the reunion of the two
partial states of Germany.
In the northern gate building a room for silence was established in the year of 1994.
The model for this space was the meditation room which the Swedish UN-General Secretary
Dag Hammarskjöld set up for himself and his staff in the UN-Building in New York.
The space is run by the association 'Raum der Stille im Brandenburger Tor
e.V.'.
