Berlin Wall Memorial

Great historic site to visit. 1) It’s free. 2) You get to see and touch the Berlin wall. 3) There’s an information center to learn all about the wall’s history. 4) There is a tower to climb to get a better perspective of the wall and its surrounding area. Definitely worth the trip.

Surreal to see what really happened. I would recommend getting a tour guide for this as they will be able to tell you lots more of information than what is portrayed on the monuments. I had the privilege of overhearing one of the stories of a victim of the Berlin Wall and it will stick with me forever. It was very insightful but absolutely awful - it makes it more real.

It was a good way to explain to our son why there is an East and a West Berlin. He’s been asking and we finally were able to clearly explain to him. The place is beautiful and reflective. To touch a real piece of the wall and history is also something we had the honor to do. Yes it is also sad to see the lives lost in trying to escape but to know this is hopefully to not allow this to happen again & we end up appreciating the freedoms we have and the ability to purchase what we need and want.

This place has many different locations along a very long trail. People exercise, run, and walk their dogs even off leash here. Not sure if that's allowed but it's what I saw. Otherwise the trail was informational with many posts that included history and photos. They have left several old walls and roads that were part of the inner and outer wall of the Berlin wall. You really get a sense of how large the space was between the east and west side. You also get to see how tough it would have been to escape with the towers and height of the outer wall. Only goes to show with other deterrents how difficult leaving would be. They also had some underground tunnels located and mapped above ground so you could see. One thing I did not enjoy was the small section in area D where the land owners decided to put up apartments and business rather than conserving very important history

This area is quite large and you have to go across the street to see different parts of the memorial. There is information about the Berlin Wall in multiple locations where you can either read about it or pick up the ear piece to listen. There was one building we couldn’t get in because of an event but from the outside it looks very cool.
