Twenty meters of historic wall are being torn down to make way for a luxury apartment complex nearby.
Some of Berlin's most famous wall paintings, such as Brezhnev and Honecker's Kiss are under threat if the work goes ahead.
Nearly 300 activists gathered in front of the famous East Side Gallery to prevent the demolition of one of Europe's most popular tourist attractions. Protesters carried banners, one of which read"Does culture no longer have any value?", apparently addressed to local authorities.
The Berlin Wall was a barrier constructed by the German Democratic Republic starting on 13 August 1961, that completely cut off West Berlin from surrounding East Germany and from East Berlin
