We start at the meeting point of Potsdamer Platz to reach Nordbahnhof by S-Bahn, one of the ghost stations that remained closed for nearly thirty years after the Wall's construction.
Memorial of the Berlin Wall
At the Berlin Wall Memorial on Bernauerstrasse, we'll relive the trauma of separation, visiting an original part of the death strip, the no man's land. We'll discuss escape attempts, tunnels dug for this purpose, and the terrible stories of those who lost their lives because of the Wall.
Alexanderplatz
On the famous Alexanderplatz, in front of representative buildings of socialist Berlin, we'll relive the emotions of the thousands who, through peaceful demonstrations, defied STASI's political repression, triggering the "collapse" of the Wall and the subsequent disintegration of the Soviet bloc.
