border

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

The central Berlin Wall Memorial on Bernauer Straße shows the permanent exhibition "1961 | 1989. The Berlin Wall".

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

The Tränenpalast ("Palace of Tears") near Bahnhof Friedrichstraße is home to the permament exhibition "GranzErfahrungen", giving an insight into the day-to-day life of a country divided in two.

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.

The large Panorama wall of the artist Yadegar Asisi visualizes the daily life next to the Berlin wall on a fictitious autumn day in the 1980s.

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

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!
