Let yourself be guided from Checkpoint Charlie via Potsdamer Platz and the last original watchtower of the border fortifications in Berlin to the Berlin Wall memorial on Bernauer Strasse. This is where East Berlin windows were bricked up, tunnels dug and refugees betrayed. Your guide will tell you how the Wall came to be built, the construction of the border fortifications, escape stories and personal fates.
Hear how a train station became a ghost station, a cemetery became a death strip, walls of houses became border walls, and a church became an obstacle in the field of fire. You will walk the entire memorial site on Bernauer Strasse, and there will also be visuals, audio documents and ruins of the memorial site explained at selected points.
