Birgit Kinder and the Trabant Berlin, November 9, As the Wall is crumbling, something epochal is about to happening: the whole world is changing, and the symbol of this revolution will not be a tank or a flag, but a small and noisy car, the Trabant Birgit Kinder, a young East German artist has a brilliant vision and decides to immortalize it, her vision and that escape to freedom, in a work that will become legendary.

Her Trabant breaks through the Berlin Wall with all the force of those who are fed up with borders and divisions. This painting, Test the Best, which appeared the following year on what remains of the Wall, is still one of the most powerful images of German reunification.

This year, as we celebrate the 35th anniversary of the fall of the Wall, it is impossible not to think of that little car that, more than any other, led the way to freedom. But what was so special about the Trabant? And what makes someone still remember it with affection, when for years it was seen as a symbol of narrowness and retrogression?

The Trabant the car you don't expect For those used to the luxury of modernity, the Trabant might seem like a car to forget. But yet, in the decades of the GDR, this small vehicle with a horsepower two-stroke engine was the dream of millions. But in the Berlin of the s, the Trabant represented something very big: the chance to get around, to explore the world, even if it was limited, and to finally have a piece of the future in your hands.

Even if this future was made of Duroplast, a reinforced plastic, not steel.

L’œuvre la plus connue est Le baiser «fraternel» de er et v.

Having a Trabant was not a rich man's whim, but an achievement. The waiting list for this small hatchback was up to 15 years. A wait that seems surreal today, but at the time was the norm for those living behind the Iron Curtain.
