The record
A memorial with a plaque on Rudolf-Breitscheid-Straße, on the Potsdam side of the border that ringed West Berlin.
A memorial with a plaque at Rudolf-Breitscheid-Straße 236a. Potsdam is not a recipient like the rest of this catalogue: the border ran around West Berlin, and Potsdam was on the outside of it, so the Wall here was local infrastructure rather than an import. The town holds five catalogue records, more than most countries.
