<P> The Berlin Wall was constructed in 1961 to separate West Berlin and East Berlin during the Cold War . All the differences between the countries made it a perfect place for people to express their opinions , especially on their preferences and dislikes . In the 1980s , the wall was reconstructed and made 14 feet tall . Graffiting on the wall became popular for artists from all over the world and a place where tourists would go and admire the artwork . The West Berlin side of the wall had artwork completely covering the wall , while the East Berlin side was kept blank because people were not permitted to get close enough to the eastside of the wall to paint anything . </P>
why is graffiti only on one side of the berlin wall
because people were not permitted to get close enough to the eastside of the wall to paint anything
