For over 28 years, an almost insurmountable wall cut Berlin into two across the metropolis, the border between the democratic West and the Communist East ran across the metropolis.Renowned journalist Christian Bahr traces the history of the Berlin Wall in his book and leads us to those sites that still remember the years of the division of the city. Voices of contemporary witnesses let the reader experience everyday life in the torn city, escape attempts and the fall of the wall up close. The world-historical significance of the events is documented by snippets of important speeches. Ten walks along former sections of the wall lead to the focal points of historical events and to the traces left by the wall.
