One of the more notorious locations of the Berlin Wall. On site is shown how far the East-German government went to construct their wall : people were driven out of their houses and relocated. These houses were later demolished. A graveyard was partly cleared, though it is suspected 2 mass graves (from WWII bombings) were left intact. Finally, in 1985 a church was blown up because it hindered the guards line of sight.
Picture : part of the Todesstreifen (see also my freebie) was reconstructed on its former location.
