There is no evidence to suggest that "Mending Wall" by Robert Frost was read at the Berlin Wall. The poem itself is about the physical and metaphorical boundaries between neighbors, while the Berlin Wall was a physical barrier separating East and West Berlin during the Cold War.
As its name suggests, the Berlin Wall was in Berlin. It ran north to south across the middle of Berlin. There was also a much longer barrier across the middle of Germany, about 100 miles west of Berlin, separating East Germany from West Germany.
The Berlin Wall now symbolizes the Cold War and oppression. It served as a physical and symbolic barrier between the two halves of Germany.
