Berlin Bears


The Berlin Bears are painted by artists from all over the world. Every single United Buddy Bear represents a United Nations member state.The bears are also a symbol of the desire for peace, freedom and international understanding. The photo of the bear on this page - thanks to Angela - provides an example of one such bear. They are located throughout the city, as individuals or groupings. I bought a souvenir 'Berlin Bear' from KaDeWe - the artist has used symbols, colour and text to represent the unique characteristics of Berlin.
