How many years did the Berlin Wall stand, from its construction in 1961 to its fall in 1989?
Answer
28 years
The Wall has now been down longer than it was ever up. A double row of cobblestones traces about 5.7 km of its former path through central Berlin, dotted with plaques reading 'Berliner Mauer 1961–1989'.
