Tours by feet, for groups

Following the traces of the Berlin Wall – by feet and train

Walter Ulbricht declared on 15th June 1961: "Nobody has the intention to build up a wall!". A couple of weeks later the construction of the Wall started, checkpoints were installed, normal train stations changed into 'ghost stops' and streets were cut through. From this time on the Berlin Wall went over 43.1 km from north to south right through the middle of the city. Almost thirty years long this inhuman building divided the city. About 20 years after the fall of the Wall its traces are vanishing. Today pavement stones in the ground remind us of the former borderline. But what did the division mean to people? How do politics an urban planning deal with the "historic mile" between Checkpoint Charlie and Potsdamer Square?
