Yesterday we toured the Berlin Wall Memorial, complete with two interesting short films providing in depth detail about the Wall and the history surrounding it. The tour itself consisted of a long narrow park that followed along the nearby road. Along this road, the rebuilt wall had occasional openings for gates and passage through, until the outline of the church that was destroyed was reached. The face windows are a great effort to help remember those that died due to this division. Halfway along the park, there is a building across the road with a tower which we climbed all the way to the top. From there one could see the whole layout of the Memorial as well as a region of sand surrounded by walls that indicates the death pit which separated the different layers of walls. There are newly renovated apartments that seem to be on the park, but are actually just on the edge. They are right next to the indicated tunnels, which many people used to escape to the west. Maybe the tunnels still exist and on,y the people that live in those apartments know about it.
