The Berlin wall wasn't merely symbolic- it actually divided East and West Berlin. People died trying to cross over the wall.
But yes, after the wall "came down," the remaining pieces did come to symbolize the struggle and the freedom obtained by the citizens.

properly the Berlin Wall replaced into as Winston Churchill suggested "an Iron Curtain" that separated East and West Germany, this somewhat meant that the eastern area of Europe ought to no longer become loose as long as they have been below the Soviet Unions administration. It wasn't till the autumn of Communism that Russia's administration over eastern Europe replaced into not extra. It symbolizes the top of the chilly conflict by way of fact the Berlin Wall replaced into torn down so as that East and West Germany ought to reunite.

The Berlin Wall symbolized Communism on the East, Freedom and Rights on the West. It was built mainly to keep people from LEAVING Communist control.
Its coming down symbolized that people, if allowed, would choose freedom.

The Berlin Wall didn't really symbolize anything. It divided Communist ruled East Germany, from capitalist ruled West Germany.

To me, it symbolyzed the Communist reign in Eastern Europe. The Berlin Wall was torn down when Communism collapsed in Eastern Europe.
