=== Roger Waters' ''The Wall'' concert === {{main|The Wall – Live in Berlin}} [[File:Bundesarchiv Bild 183-1990-0722-402, Berlin, Aufführung der Rockoper "The Wall".jpg|thumb|''The Wall – Live in Berlin'' performance in the former no man's land of Potsdamer Platz]] [[File:Roger Waters Berlin Wall concert arena overlaid on 2024 map.svg|thumb|upright|The 1990 concert arena overlaid on a 2024 map. ‡ = stage.<ref>Map based on reverse of concert ticket, at: {{cite web |title=The Wall live in Berlin |url=https://www.pinkfloydhyldest.dk/waters/wallberl.shtml |website=Pink Floyd Hyldest |access-date=25 December 2024}}</ref>]] On 21 July 1990, ex-[[Pink Floyd]] member [[Roger Waters]] staged a gigantic charity concert of his former band's rock extravaganza ''The Wall'' to commemorate the end of the division between [[East Germany|East]] and West Germany. The concert took place at Potsdamer Platz – specifically an area of the former no man's land just to the north of the Reich Chancellery site, and featured many guest superstars. It was preparations for this concert, rather than historical interest, that brought about the first detailed post-Cold War survey of the area with a view to determining what, if anything, was left of Hitler's bunker and any other underground installations. Although sections of the main [[Führerbunker]] were found, partially destroyed or filled in, another bunker complex was found further north that even the East German authorities had apparently missed, plus other cavities beneath land bordering the east side of Ebertstraße, although these turned out to be underground garages belonging to a former [[SS]] accommodation block.
