Today I stood at that exact location. No National Socialist playsets for
sale I can assure you. However there is an extensive trade in concrete
fragments of dubious provenance allegedly from the Berlin Wall. I estimate
that the wall must have been as long as that one in China to have produced
so many fragments for sale. I think they must keep putting up new sections
of wall somewhere and covering them with graffiti or bulletholes to show to
the tourists. :-)
