East Berlin (former administrative division) |
Note: It was the eastern part of Berlin, separated from West Berlin when the city was divided after World War II. From 1961 until 1989, the Berlin Wall separated the East and West portions of Berlin; the wall was a solid ring of barriers, consisting mostly of prefabricated concrete slabs, punctuated by heavily guarded crossing points, Checkpoint Charlie on Friedrichstrasse being the most famous. |
