Tja, dafür muss da aber erstmal jemand von den Grenzer hinlaufen, um die zu verhaften. Die DDR-Grenzer standen nicht direkt am weißen Strich Und die beiden wären dann einfach zwei Schritt zurück gegangen, wenn sie den Grenzer gesehen hätten und dann hätte sich das mit der Verhaftung erledigt. Genau aus diesem Grund wurde so etwas auch von den Grenzern übersehen, weil hin rennen hätte eh nichts gebracht.
I understand that the people of Berlin wanted to get rid of all the bad memories of the wall after it fell, but it would be nice if they kept A bigger piece of the wall / checkpoint Charlie intact
I don't think you realize that this checkpoint was right in the middle of the town and the street it was in was and is again an important North-South Axis in the city center. There are at other places parts of the wall to see ...
because it was the checkpoint C as charlie, since there were 4 border crossings in berlin, called checkpoints. A B C D, alpha beta charlie delta. Charlie was the most important one
Checkpoint Alpha was at Marienborn on the main BRD-DDR autobahn. Chec kpoint Bravo was at Drewitz, where the autobahn entered West Berlin. Checkpoint Charlie was between West Berlin and the capital of the DDR.
I was stationed there in 1987-1988. Boring place to be, most of the time. Only foreigners and diplomats could use Charlie. Then they were subject to inspection for any contraband coming or going. If you walked in 20 to 30 minutes you were done. By automobile 2 to 3 hours.
You seem to have been unlucky; I drove through several times 1981 - 1989in a BG registered car in both directions, and never waited more than a few minutes.
Das verstehe ich gut! Zur Erfüllung Ihrer Träume empfehle ich eine Übersiedlung nach Nord Korea! Ein wahrlich herrliches Land, sie werden begeistert sein.
Amazing how in 6-8 months later everything disappears and traffic flows like it was never there
Us army 1977 I crossed checkpoint charlie in a bus. Still have a picture. My dad was part of the Berlin airlift 48-49
I spent a couple of weeks in DDR in 1987... Many memories.. A World that no longer exists...
My uncle and his family lived there.
He hated it.
thankfully right?
I was there in September 1989, just two months before the end of it.
I was there about the same time. I went in July with my sister, and then in August by myself. Seemed to be a lot of Stasi types around the 2nd time...
They should have kept Checkpoint Charlie and turned it into a museum.
They have kept it a made it a museum
@Louis #but they didn't save the DDR side of border....where's the truth?
Danke für diese traurige Erinerung, Hr Juppschmitz! Nie Mal Krieg! Nie Mal Mauer!
Not the museum, the ACTUAL Checkpoint Charlie, building, barriers, towers, roof, everything ! it all should have been saved and preserved.
Now it is merely a sales area for DDR items. Very poor.
Costruction business was more important than History
They would have to keep a huge eastern checkpoint there, they could keep the small allied checkpoint, theres a replica rn
I went to Checkpoint Charlie this summer. It looks barely unrecognizable to this video shown. Traffic flows normally from one side to the other.
Die Personen bei 0:09 befinden sich ja bereits im demokratischen Sektor. Da hatten sie aber Glück gehabt, dass sie nicht verhaftet wurden.

Hello Everyone In July 27,2023 From Daramies Jules Paddio Senior
I understand that the people of Berlin wanted to get rid of all the bad memories of the wall after it fell, but it would be nice if they kept A bigger piece of the wall / checkpoint Charlie intact
it same as saying would be nice if US dropped the bomb these days like they did back in 1945....
I don't think you realize that this checkpoint was right in the middle of the town and the street it was in was and is again an important North-South Axis in the city center. There are at other places parts of the wall to see ...
