Bernauer Strasse

Bernauer Strasse now has a fantastic green belt, lovely.
Sunday - we went to Bernauer Strasse to see the open air wall museum. It is well worth a look. They have a section of wall, a watch tower and the no-man's land, all as it was - scary! They explain people were forced to move from their houses, then the windows were bricked in, then the wall started to develop from there. The wall with the rounded top, fiendishly hard to clumb, is about the third or fourth generation of improvements.


The posts on the left mark the wall, the grass is no mans land.



We flew home and started work/school Monday.


Original part of wall, no mans land, grim lights, watch tower.

Escape tunnels are marked. The round building is/was a church.
