Colorado Las Vegas Orlando

1989. Its surface is covered with
graffiti — sketches, slogans and
more.
Near it is a tower, large and
looming. This was the watch
tower where guards watched for
people trying to escape — a dra-
matic reminder of the formida-
ble barriers in this once-divided
city.
Our tour now takes us past
several landmark sites. One is
a stately yellow building on
Niederkirkner, originally the
Prussian Parliament House and
now the home of the Berlin sen-
ate. Across the street is the Mar-
tin Gropius Haus, badly damaged
during the war — now re-opened
as a large exhibition hall.
Soon we come to another piece
of the actual wall. This is one
massive slab with concrete pip-
ing on top — and graffiti on its
surface, too.
"It's the only piece left on the
western boundary," says Mr.
Gay. "And this Piece will remain"
At the center of Niederkirch
and Wilhelm, Mr. Gay explains
that this site was the scene of sev-
eral daring escape attempts, of-
ten by ingenious means. But once
they reached safety in West
;17, Berlin, people kept their means
of escape a secret so that others
could try the same way. Then,
too, they kept their escapes se-
cret because if their escape be-
came known, relatives left behind
were punished.
Soon we arrive at Checkpoint
Charlie, which was once the
busiest of all crossing points.
/—
Now, all around the area are the
signs of construction in booming
eastern Berlin.
The site itself, marked by a
tower at the busy intersection,
draws its share of tourists. Cam-
eras are poised, tripods are set up
and people stand looking up at
\ Th
the watch tower.
For those of us on the tour, the
wall comes alive again as a pro-
found part of the city's history. ❑
