BERLIN, GERMANY - MARCH 04: A map of the city of Berlin with the word 'SALE' written across it hangs on the East Side Gallery, the longest remaining portion of the former Berlin Wall, which has been slated for removal by a construction company to build a high-rise luxury apartment block, on March 4, 2013 in Berlin, Germany. A real estate developer is planning to build a 14-storey apartment building between the East Side Gallery and the Spree River and needs to remove the Wall section in order to allow access to the construction site. Protesters managed to temporarily halt the dismantling of the section on March 1. Critics, including East Side Gallery mural artists and Spree River embankment development opponents, decry the move, citing the importance of the East Side Gallery's status as a protected landmark and a major tourist attraction. The East Side Gallery is approximately 1.3 kilometers long. (Photo by Adam Berry/Getty Images)
