Berlin Wall Sites

Bernauer Straße was the border between the districts of Wedding (West) and Mitte (East).

Pictures, films, original quotes, interviews and games make history and histories of the Berlin Wall come alive with the multimedia WallGuide.

Right in front of the door of the museum is the former Checkpoint Charlie. Inside it is all about the creative ways of people wanting to flee from East Germany and the border fortifications of that time.

Friedrichhain's East Side Gallery is with its 1.361 metres the longest open air gallery in the world and at the same time the longest piece of the Berlin Wall still standing!

The Berlin Mauerweg gives the answer to the frequently asked question where the Berlin Wall stood.

The monument "Parliament of Trees" was created by artist Ben Wargin in 1990 and commemorates the people who died on the Berlin Wall.

This memorial site commemorates the victims of gunfire and barbed wire at the Berlin Wall and is named after Günter Litfin, the first victim of precision shooting at the Wall.

His tragic death converted Peter Fechter into a symbol. He was shot in 1962 when trying to climb across the Wall.

The Mauerpark (Wall Park) was created in the former border strip as a public green space which contains about 300 metres of original Berlin Wall!

The white crosses are commemorating those who lost their lives trying to overcome the GDR border fortifications to escape from East Germany.
