Berlin Wall memorial, Historical memorial in Bernauer Strasse, Germany
The Berlin Wall Memorial is a site in Bernauer Strasse featuring preserved wall sections and the former border strip between East and West Berlin. A Documentation Center with exhibitions and a modern chapel building complete the grounds.
The wall stood here from 1961 to 1989 as the border between two German states. The site shows how control operated at this location and how the situation developed until the wall fell.
This place tells stories of separated families and people who tried to escape. Visitors see personal photographs and accounts that show what daily life looked like during the Wall period.
The grounds are freely accessible daily, while the Documentation Center has limited opening hours. Good walking shoes are recommended, as the route covers outdoor terrain.
A church building was enclosed at this spot in 1961 and became unreachable. Today a new chapel stands at this location as a reminder of the original.
