Story #2: The Berlin Wall (1961-1989)

The Berlin Wall Constructed in August of 1961 Divided East Berlin (controlled by the Soviets under Communism) and West Berlin (controlled by the Allies under democracy) Designed to keep those in East Berlin out of West Berlin Why? Kept them contained in the Communist section of Berlin Over time, the wall was fortified heavier to prevent escaping into West Berlin

The Berlin Wall The Berlin Wall stretched over 100 miles. Ran through the center of Berlin and cut off West Berlin from the rest of East Germany. The wall went through 4 major transformations 1st: Started out as a barbed-wire fence with concrete posts 2nd: Quickly replaced with concrete blocks topped with barbed wire to make it more sturdier and permanent 3rd: Made of concrete wall supported by steel girders in 1965 4th: Made of concrete slabs almost 12ft high and 4 ft wide with a smooth pipe running across the top to keep people from scaling the wall (1975-1980) Behind the Wall were minefields, anti-vehicle trenches, electric fences, guard dogs, a 300 ft “No Man’s Land”
