The Berlin Wall

The Berlin Wall came into existance in 1961 when the DDR (GDR) authorities thought they had had enough. People left DDR in droves and a boss in a company could not be sure whether his workers would return the next day. The pictures show restored parts of the wall at Bernauer Strasse. Many Germans hate the wall so much that they have wanted to destroy every part of it, so that they will not be reminded of it. Wall Documentation Center at Bernauer Strasse has worked hard to preserve this little part and in July 2003 this was what we could see.
