Overview

Explore a city torn in two by the Berlin Wall. Discover life with the Stasi (secret police) in communist East Germany, and hear daring escape stories. Visit an original section of the Berlin Wall and see how & where Berliners dug tunnels to escape communism. Hear how West Berlin trains would travel through "ghost stations" beneath the East, sometimes stopping so that family and friends could have touching reunions and say emotional goodbyes. Trace the path of the Berlin Wall and hear how border guards at the "Death Strip" were trained to shoot to kill if they caught anybody trying to escape! Choose your end location: either the East Side Gallery, the colourful and most famous section of the Berlin Wall, covered in paintings, or Bornholmer Strasse, the very place where the Wall fell in 1989, leading to the reunification of Germany in 1990!
