Pictures of Checkpoint Charlie - Berlin, Germany - May 14th, 2025 - 134/2025 337/P365Year17 6181/P365all-time – (May 14, 2025)
I was in Berlin attending the INCONECSS Conference. We were within walking distance of Checkpoint Charlie - the military line between the American and Soviet sections of the divided Berlin during the Cold War. From the Visit Berlin site - "Located on the corner of Friedrichstraße and Zimmerstraße, it is a reminder of the former border crossing, the Cold War and the partition of Berlin. The barrier and checkpoint booth, the flag and the sandbags are all based on the original site." Also - "The checkpoint booth was removed on 22 June 1990, about half a year after the wall opened in November 1989. The original booth now displayed in the Allied Museum in Berlin-Zehlendorf. Later on a copy of the first guard house was built on the site of Checkpoint Charlie, a much smaller booth than the one removed in 1990." Taken on Wednesday May 14th, 2025 in Berlin, Germany.
