For 40 years, the division of Berlin stood as a symbol of the brutality of the Cold War and the division of Germany; until it was torn down peacefully in 1989. A place where systems faced each other and families were separated, but peaceful protest was able to end a dictatorship.



A place like the Berlin Wall leaves traces, opinions and stories. This tour is dedicated to these, to present the wall in its original parts and to recount this exciting and moving time.


The tour begins at the Nordbahnhof S-Bahn station, at the exit to Invalidenstraße, at Elisabeth-Schwarzhaupt-Platz. The tour begins where Berlin's largest long-distance train station once stood and leads across the grounds of the Wall Memorial, up Bernauer Straße to the Brunnenstraße intersection.
