The pieces feature many designs from street artists over the years. It is believed they could fetch as much as £2300 (€3000) a piece.

Each piece weighs roughly 2.7 tones. They are considered an important part of German history by collectors and have much historical significance. When the Berlin wall collapsed it was quickly utilised for road construction material.

However canny Germans picked off souvenir parts at the time to keep for themselves. This has proved to be a very smart choice judging by the prices some pieces of the wall go for today.

There are very few parts of the Berlin wall left today. Some unscrupulous types have tried to sell fake parts of the wall in the past
