| Map of Berlin |
|
| On August 13, 1961, Berliners woke to a divided city. The Berlin Wall was constructed by the German Democratic Republic to separate West Berlin from East Berlin so as to prevent the massive emigration and defection, as thousands of East Germans were fleeing to the democratic West during the early period of the Cold War. It was opened in November 1989 and its demolition officially began on June 13, 1990. |
