View from the Reichstag of the river and, consequently, the DDR
Description |
: |
Hard to see but there is a row of bricks just ahead of the street sign near the water that marks where the Berlin Wall stood. Boats transiting this area had to stop for 10 minutes to ensure no defectors were submerged hitching a ride out of East Germany. From the building across the water, spies would try to to hear conversations in the Reichstag Library. |
