What it is
On Bernauer Straße the Wall split the street: the houses were in the East and the pavement was in the West. Here a stretch is preserved with the complete border strip behind it, the one they called the death strip, and an outdoor exhibition more than a kilometre long with photos, remains of escape tunnels and the marks of the demolished houses.
What the visit is like
The outdoor part is open daily from 8:00 to 22:00 and is free. The visitor centre (Bernauer Straße 119) and the documentation centre (Bernauer Straße 111) are open Tuesday to Sunday from 10:00 to 18:00; climb the documentation centre tower, last ascent at 17:45, to see the strip from above. All the exhibitions are free; public guided tours cost €5.
How to get there
By S-Bahn (S1, S2, S25, S26) or tram M10 to Nordbahnhof, or by U8 metro to Bernauer Straße. At Nordbahnhof station there is a small exhibition on the ghost stations of divided Berlin.
