This photo is more obscure, and worth ten points if you can locate the unedited original.

It looks like it might be a shot from Berlin. Maybe some place famous like checkpoint charlie before Schandmauer was actually constructed.
You can see in the upper righthand corner the lower half of SECTEU, which could be the french portion of this sign: http://peach.mie.utoronto.ca/people/tsangc/berlin04/berlin-day5-checkpoint.jpg

I like this appelation for Herr Schumann from hit #3 of the winning Google search:
Mauerspringer
Nice work, guys. Before now I didn't know Conrad's name, or much about his story.
