Abstract
We could say that the Berlin Wall has been during almost three decades one of the most powerful image ofa border. This concrete wall divided families,neighbours, buildings, a country and all the international geopolitics between capitalist and communistblocks. But it was also a symbol and mainly a frontier.When searching nowadays for the tracks of the BerlinWall, we may found more than material rests and border line remainders, the Wall was multiple. Beside theBerlin Wall we could discover another kind of borders:a front–border (defensive and offensive), a fronds–border (space of exchange and inhabitation) and acontention wall to the soliton, consequence of the fallof the Berlin Wall itself.
