The old blue one, that is


From the East		And the warning that you are entering the American sector, semi authentic

This wasn’t there when I crossed through in 85/86		And the push back.

Authentic		Not authentic

Checkpoint Charlie Stamp

The border, die Mauer and the Park


Nordbahnhof (inside)		Nordbahbhof (outside)

A real section of the wall		A memorial to those who died trying to cross the wall

Old Mauer sections		A death zone light

The death zone observation tower		From the tower and the Church memorial in the distance

The only section of death zone left		A wider view of the death zone

Mauer Park		Mauer Park, not the real wall

And work progresses

Apparently the French didn’t finish the job


The start, heading towards but not to Spandau		The palce of Tears at Friedrichstrasse Station

S1 to Gesundbrunnen and then cross the road		Only half of it is left, the hill around it is the rubble from the other half

At the top		Looking down from the top

Views from the bottom		Another view from the bottom

The Berlin Underground Society Booking Office		Where their tours start but no photos due to copyright reasons

The British did and the one in the Zoo is gone

Just stuff that caught my eye


Early morning Berlin		A toilet centre?

Not a chippy in the conventional sense		Rathaus – Spandau

Brauhaus Mitte		Their Pils, also with a slightly yeasty taste

Brauhaus Lemke		The Dunkel, a solid drink
