the com and you can follow. so social media or handle is due to the news on pop up on any s from me on the team here in berlin. thanks for watching. take care. i don't see very soon the thoughts we say there about never getting up every weekend on d. w. cost about and why does that and i think a lot now i'm leave them under the new host to join us for an exciting explanation of everything in between.

this is a video and audio production 5 d w. i hope that you will tune in the, for a lender. it's have lots of green spaces to choose from. but this isn't just any parks . after the fall of the berlin wall in 1989, this broad section of no man's land was turned into a recreational area, the mo, up that takes us to this week's topic and to the starting point of my tour. i'll be following the berlin wall trail right through the heart of a city the today i ride along the former border between east and west berlin on this spike, following the line of the berlin wall. i would like to see what remains of the

history of the division of europe, germany, and brilliant. so i'm starting here in mo, apart going through the britain and birth date, and then all the way to the east side gallery. let's go. the, the, my 1st stop on the berlin wall trail is the memorial side on down and washed off it . it's the 1st stop for anybody wanting to learn more about the cities division, rust colored poles and sections of the walls, mark the location of the former border. the . 2 here, a section of the wall has been reconstructed as it was during the division. the viewing platforms provides the best view of the board of fortifications true

dimensions. this is how that appeared up to 1989. the main and inter waltz with a depth strip in between last year, over a 1000000 people visited the berlin wall memorial on the west. also, it includes this documentation, centered historian and not be able to show me around the permanent exhibition even. ok, so what can we display historical objects here that are important because then now for an immediate experience, especially for visiting so don't know much about it who don't know the details about the bed and we'll a busy the missile on the take him here. we see pieces of home, a diving equipment that who that hard line used for his escape in 1963 times i says, is been what's taught. why did the burden will even exist?

why did they put up a wall through a city that is, and that's an a complex. that's a very complicated question. but if you want the short answer, i'd have to say that it became clear off to the sounding of east and west germany in 1949. that 2 different political systems would become established. and then they'd have a situation of mass exit is the same. it's a good one done because they were many people who wanted to escape east germany in the 19 fifties and it culminated in the building of the war and then it was a consequence of this exodus youth. i'm as a demo above all i know for good you guys for the goals, and how did the walls spend for so long as i b m. e. l. ells because it was a manifestation of an entire system, especially if you do the app i out east germany was integrated into the system of eastern block states. and so it was dependent on developments they thought up as not until the 1980s was the development such that a little bit of opening was possible. and so that when you, when we're done,

you will help m as in as noon. but of course, it was the east gym and citizens who took the decisive steps towards toppling the whole here in eddie to add up to where i could find. having dusty my one to get to spend one to how do you teach such a complex subject to someone who has no connection with berlin, who perhaps comes from south america or asia, and then learns about the wall here. my wife here. yeah, they're my wedding. so why don't we do it through the historical science content? we talked very specifically about what happened on down know as tom says, so it's very clear that the bell and we'll split the street into 2 parts by time. because if i, i, so one side of the street belong to is spelling and the other side to west spinning another size. and i just want to be spending those as you had everything that made up the cold war. in general was condensed. here i think i can take a consignment, have it. thank you so much. my pleasure. and thank you. the

i press on toward the city center following the rivers pretty here behind what's now the government quarter. the river marked the border between east and west until 1989 but it was guarded just as closely as elsewhere as these wide crosses on the banks testified. many escape attempts here ended in depth. the brandenburg gate stands as a symbol of germany's reunification. until the fall of the wall, it symbolized the very opposite. it was a part of the death strip right by the berlin wall. the do you know what this gate re presents?

no, not really. it's, do you know where the burden was? almost here. i that's what this is. my guess is it was here around here. you 7. do you know where the wall ran and keep part of the back there behind the gauge. there's a line on the ground on the consolidated the meeting and be so i've been there like it and i with them. i'm just, i'm, we're all we now in east or west berlin invoice us. i'm here in the west. in the east. yes. the supports there with the service. do you know what the brand number of gates advanced vertical? no, i just got here. oh is this my 1st time here? actually did not know the are you a couple? it's a symbol of germany's reunification, though it is because so the ammonia is exactly. oh, very good. the one of the obligatory sites in berlin connected with its division in the fall of

the wall is obviously check point shortly. it can hardly be missed with all the tourists and how about the around it. the visa, large form of photos summarize the most important points about the form of border crossing or east and west faced off, told to, to under high attention i continue on all requests for traces of germany's division along the berlin wall. it's fault in 1989 . what's the 1st big step toward reunification? an impressive relic is the longest section of the berlin wall still standing, the east side gallery. a few weeks after the fall off the waltz, $118.00 artists from $21.00 countries and gathered to paint this section. the pictures are expressions of a new era daunting and hint at the emotions,

fears and hopes that inspired the wall left many visible traces in berlin and not just in the central tourist spots. there are less on known places that have come back into their own ones such a waste. this is quite specs angles bank until november 1989. it was part of the death strip. the water was gone, the base and filled in with rubble and topped with board or fortifications. after the fall off the wall, the urban green space around the inner beacon was restored. it's a good place to end my journey along the berlin wall trail. the i've seen a lot and i've learned a lot,

and i think it's quite good to focus on. one topic is covering berlin by following the path of the berlin wall. that takes you right through the heart of the capital . you have a chance to catch some sight seeing highlights, and at the same time you can learn a lot about the city's history. what do you want more? bye, bye. see you. next time you're on checking the
