BERLIN WALL MEMORIAL

Located in the centre of the city, the Berlin Wall memorial is a memorial site that is dedicated to the German division. Extending 1.4 km along the border strip, the wall memorial was constructed to stop the violence on the Bernauer Strasse. Visit the outdoor exhibition where you can learn more about the history of the division and the victims of the division.

The Berlin Wall, a well known historical place to visit in Berlin, encased West Berlin from August 13, 1961 to November 9, 1989. It should forestall East Berliners and residents of East Germany from escaping toward the West. While visiting this memorial, you shouldn’t miss the Marienfelde Refugee Center Museum, which features a million individuals who went through Berlin as exiles.
