HIS 102
Unit 13: Cold War

Berlin Wall

This is a photo of the Berlin Wall before it was a wall in 1959, looking at the Brandenburg Gate (Brandenburger Tor) which was the end point of the main avenue in Berlin (Unter den Linden). The gate became the symbolic dividing point between East and West Berlin when the "wall" was built in 1961. Below is a photo of the wall--sorry that the slide is a little dirty--after it was a "wall" in 1967.
