I'm on yahoo maps right now.. and am trying to see if you could see it using the satellite version of the maps.. the only thing is.. i'm looking at berlin.. and have no clue which area to examine closer... anyone even have a clue?

There are still parts of it up.. they also have monuments and engraved stones in different locations where it used to run through.. it wasn't through the center.. and even if it was you can't judge the center of a city on a map.. but thanks for trying!
and according to this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Berlin_Wall_portions
the berlin wall was taken apart and shipped to places all over the world for display.. whether that was such a great idea.. i'm not sure...

The Berlin Wall was originally built on the border between East Berlin and West Berlin.In 1989, the border was opened for "private trips abroad" under a new travel law.A little later, East Berliners rushed towards west berlin and on 10th november,demolition works began with the aim of creating new border crossings.On November 12, a checkpoint at the Potsdamer Platz was opened, and on December 22, a checkpoint for pedestrians was opened at the Brandenburg Gate.Thw wall was hammered to pieces.By 1991,the wall had vanished almost completely.There are a few remainders at the Bernauer Strasse, the Niederkirchnerstrasse (near the building of the former Prussian parliament, now housing the parliament of Berlin) and as the 1.3 km long "East-Side-Gallery" near the railway station "Ostbahnhof".On February 1997, a red line was painted on the pavement at the former "Checkpoint Charlie" to mark the course of the former Berlin wall. This line shall reach a length of 20 km and shall be replaced by two rows of paving stones.

Most of it has been replaced with offices. There is still bits and pieces of it around Berlin.
Visit the web site listed below. It is the Berlin tourist information center. Select the Berlin Wall, and also select Check Point Charley.

The berlin wall USE to run right through the middle of Berlin. It was taken down (destroyed) when Germany reunited. I doubt there is anything left to see of it.

It was on the border of West Berlin and East Germany.
This site has a map of its exact location:
