Facts and practical information

Memoria Urbana Berlin is a public sculpture by Spanish artist Juan Garaizabal that stands in the middle of the Bethlehemkirchplatz, Mitte district, Berlin, Germany. It was constructed in June 2012 on the mosaic marking the exact site and size of the original Bohemian or Bethlehem Church, which was destroyed in the war. The sculpture is made up of 800 meters of square section steel tube and 300 meters of LED illumination system. Its structure draws in the air the lines of the silhouette of the lost construction, recreating its volume in the form of a sketch. It measures 25 x 15 x 31 metres in height and weighs 44 short tons.
