border strip

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.

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