When Berlin was divided
1983 - East Berlin, East Germany / GDR / DDR: An East German border guard catches up on paper work at the Friedrichstrasse station. During the Cold War, Friedrichstrasse became famous for being a station that was located entirely in East Berlin, yet continued to be served by S-Bahn, U-Bahn trains from West Berlin as well as long distance trains from countries west of the Iron Curtain. The station also was a major border crossing between East and West Berlin. The Berlin Wall, running 96 miles, was built by socialist German Democratic Republic to enclose and divide the city during the Cold War. Construction started August 13, 1961, completely cutting off West Berlin. It included guard towers placed along concrete walls, which circumscribed anti-vehicle trenches, and other defenses. Berlin was carved up and ruled by Post WW II powers: United states, France, Great Britain and Soviet Union. During the years of the Wall, around 5,000 people successfully defected to West Berlin, and about 200 trying to defect were killed by East German police. West Berlin was an oasis, an outpost of democracy in the middle of Communist East Germany. In 1989, a series of radical political liberalization changes occurred in Europe's Eastern Bloc. After weeks of civil unrest, the East German government announced on November 9 that all GDR citizens could visit West Germany. Crowds of East Germans crossed and climbed onto the wall, joined by West Berliners in a celebratory atmosphere. Subsequently, euphoric public and souvenir hunters chipped away parts of the wall and the governments later removed most of what was left. The fall of the Berlin Wall paved the way for the formal German reunification on October 3, 1990. (David Berkwitz/Polaris) (FOTO:DUKAS/POLARIS)

Berlin was carved up and ruled by Post WW II powers: United states, France, Great Britain and Soviet Union. During the years of the Wall, around 5,000 people successfully defected to West Berlin, and about 200 trying to defect were killed by East German police. West Berlin was an oasis, an outpost of democracy in the middle of Communist East Germany. In 1989, a series of radical political liberalization changes occurred in Europe's Eastern Bloc. After weeks of civil unrest, the East German government announced on November 9 that all GDR citizens could visit West Germany. Crowds of East Germans crossed and climbed onto the wall, joined by West Berliners in a celebratory atmosphere. Subsequently, euphoric public and souvenir hunters chipped away parts of the wall and the governments later removed most of what was left. The fall of the Berlin Wall paved the way for the formal German reunification on October 3, 1990. (David Berkwitz/Polaris) (FOTO:DUKAS/POLARIS)

The Berlin Wall, running 96 miles, was built by socialist German Democratic Republic to enclose and divide the city during the Cold War. Construction started August 13, 1961, completely cutting off West Berlin. It included guard towers placed along concrete walls, which circumscribed anti-vehicle trenches, and other defenses.
