GDR Watchtower

The last surviving cylindrical watch tower from the Berlin Wall . Not always open but when it is you can climb up inside to see the view the guards would have had - great piece of Berlin's history!

We where fortunate to stop by while a former school teacher was manning the tower . Got a really god talk about the area and the time while Germany was divided. One of the good memories of these 7 days

Right on Potsdamer Platz, you can time travel straight to the time when the city was scarred with more than 200 of these defense tower along the Berlin Wall .

Interesting quick stop to get a better understanding of the lengths to which the regime went to keep people in. You can climb up the inside of the tower for a small fee that supports this site.

The last remaining watchtower of the Berlin Wall . For a small fee , you can even climb up!

Now you can climb on the tower . Very nice guide with great stories.

By the end of the GDR era, there were more than 200 of these towers along the Berlin border. Today, it is the only surviving watchtower of its kind.

It was closed to the public but an amazing piece of living history, not to be missed.

I believe this is the last remaining watchtower of the Wall. I’ve climbed it for a small fee , the view shows absolutely nothing, it was interesting to see how uncomfortable the watch’s job was

Sehr beeindruckend, wenn einem ein Teil der deutsch-deutschen Geschichte so anschaulich erklärt wird. Absolut unterstützenswert!

passateci, piccola deviazione. di una bruttezza suggestiva
