Berlin, Germany

Berlin is where the Wall was and where least of it is. The border ran 155 km around West Berlin, about 43 km of that through the city, and roughly 3 km survives in fragments — under two per cent. Almost none of it was kept on purpose: the preserved stretches are the ones somebody argued for after the demolition had already taken most of it. Fourteen of the records below are protected monuments, and they include the two surviving command posts, the last panorama watchtower, and the place where the first barrier was raised on 9 November 1989.

The catalogue has 32 researched sites in Berlin, Germany: eleven still in their original position, six museum displays and six relocated segments.

A licensed photograph illustrates sixteen of them. Map positions are missing for one of them: either no source supplied one, or the one supplied could not be right.

A further listing for Berlin is held in the catalogue as a draft, out of the map and the indexes until it has been researched.

16 of 32 sites here still need a photograph. See what is wanted.
