Tired of the poor conditions in the German Democratic Republic and hoping to find better in West Germany, they intended to climb the Berlin Wall that separated East and West Berlin using a ladder. A newspaper account states that despite both verbal warnings and warning shots, both young men continued to try and climb the wall until the border guards opened fire directly at them. Mr. Gaudin survived the experience after being shot, however, Mr.

    HAVE GERMAN WILL TRAVEL This week in Histor FAMOUS EVENTS: What happened on ... ? Was ist am 13. August 1961 geschehen? Building of the Berlin Wall Runners brave 160km marathon to mark fall of Berlin Wall "You have to accept that you will be moving for 24 hours," says west Berlin runner Nina Blisse, who finished both the 2014 and 2015 editions in under 26 hours and is race treasurer. The Wall's history is entwined in the race's DNA. Registration for the following year's race always opens at 18:57 (1657 GMT) on November 9 - marking the exact moment in 1989 when East Germany lifted its travel ban, triggering the Wall's demise. Each year, one Wall victim is chosen for a special tribute, their face featuring on start numbers and finisher medals, while a ceremony is held at the spot where they died. For the first race in 2011, Chris Gueffroy, the last person shot dead on the Berlin Wall, was honoured. He was killed in February 1989, eight months before the Wall fell, and on Sunday, Gueffroy's mother Karin will present medals at the finishers' ceremony. Political prisoners Last year, the Wall's youngest victim, Joerg Hartmann, a 10-year-old boy shot dead by East German border guards in 1966 while trying to visit his father in the west, was honoured. Having each been asked to carry a gift for him, last year's runners piled cuddly toys at the spot he was killed. "I still get goosebumps thinking about it," admits Ilk. For the organisers and 400 helpers, all volunteers, a sleepless night is par for the course.

    Michael Cramer This Year, We Remember the 30Th Anniversary Of

    Brolly. Journal of Social Sciences 2 (3) 2019 EDITORIAL THE BERLIN WALL Michael Cramer Member of the German Green Party in the Berlin City-State Parliament (1989-2004) and in the European Parliament (2004-2019). He is the initiator of the “Berlin Wall Trail”, the “Iron Curtain Trail” and the author of these books. [email protected] This year, we remember the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Wall in Berlin and of the Iron Curtain in Europe. “Where was the Wall?" is a question that many visitors of Berlin still ask today. Many teenagers know about the years before 1989 only from their history books. Today, the former course of the 40-kilometre inner-city border is marked by a double row of cobblestones, with metal plaques at regular intervals on the West Berlin side, bearing the words “Berliner Mauer 1961-1989”. The Wall around West Berlin was 3.60 m high and 160 km long. Its appearance and location changed over the course of time. The barbed-wire fencing was replaced by pre-manufactured Wall segments, which were in some parts reinforced with metal grid fences. Between the “outer border wall” facing West and the “inner border wall” facing East was the brightly lit notorious “death strip” with the “patrol path”, on which GDR border troops guarded the frontier. On the GDR-side, only selected people were allowed to live in the neighbourhoods directly behind the Wall. Their friends and relatives had to be registered before any visits and needed to obtain a special permit. More than 300 guard towers, 30 headquarters, 20 bunkers, floodlight systems, signal and alarm fences, as well as dog running areas and tank traps were installed to prevent people from escaping to West Berlin.

    Berliner Mauer Und Innerdeutsche Grenze Bestandsverzeichnis Aus Der Bibliothek Der Bundesstiftung Aufarbeitung

    Berliner Mauer und innerdeutsche Grenze Bestandsverzeichnis aus der Bibliothek der Bundesstiftung Aufarbeitung In der Nacht zum 13. August 1961 begann die Abriegelung der Grenze zu den Berliner Westsektoren durch das SED-Regime. Mit einem Großaufgebot an Einsatzkräften von Volks- und Grenzpolizei sowie Betriebskampfgruppen der SED wurden Verbindungs- straßen aufgerissen, Spanische Reiter und Stacheldrahtverhaue errichtet und der öffentliche Nahverkehr zwischen den beiden Stadtteilen dauerhaft unterbrochen. In den folgenden Tagen und Wochen wurden die provisorischen Stacheldrahtsperren unter scharfer Bewachung durch DDR-Grenzposten mit einer Mauer aus Hohlblock- steinen und Betonplatten ersetzt. Walter Ulbricht hatte sein Ziel erreicht. Der letzte noch offene Fluchtweg in den Westen war geschlossen und die bis dahin stetig wachsende Fluchtbewegung aus der DDR gestoppt. Die Berliner Mauer existierte über 28 Jahre lang und wurde zum Symbol für das menschenverachtende Regime in der DDR-Diktatur und zum Symbol der Deutschen Teilung und des Kalten Krieges. Die Mauer stand zudem für die Unerbittlichkeit eines Regimes, das auch vor Todesschüssen auf Flüchtlinge nicht zurückschreckte. Die vorliegende Bibliographie umfasst sämtliche Monographien, Broschüren und audiovisuellen Medien aus dem Bestand der Stiftungsbibliothek, die sich dem Themenkomplex Berliner Mauer und innerdeutsche Grenze widmen. Das Verzeichnis ist in folgende Rubriken gegliedert: Mauerbau und Vorgeschichte ● Leben mit der Mauer ● Innerdeutsche Grenze ● Flucht und Opfer der Mauer/innerdeutschen Grenze ● Grenze und Fluchtbewegung vor 1961 ● Gedenkstätten und Erinnerung ● Ausreise Mauerbau und Vorgeschichte 3 x durch den Zaun.
