Berlin-Steinstücken exclave, 1972

A few streets, a few houses, a few trees - Steinstücken measured a mere twelve hectares. Between 1945 and 1971, this area belonging to the Western district of Zehlendorf was West Berlin's only permanently inhabited exclave located in the Soviet-occupied zone/the GDR.
In 1972 Berlin's mayor Klaus Schütz opens an access road connecting Steinstücken to West Berlin.
