From: [| http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin_Wall] <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;"> -  <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> The **Berlin Wall** was a physical [| barrier] separating [| West Berlin] from the German Democratic Republic (GDR) ( [| East Germany] ), including [| East Berlin]. <span style="color: rgb(0, 136, 255); font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;"> <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;"> -  <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; color: rgb(20, 142, 215);"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> On Saturday, 12 August 1961, the leaders of the GDR attended a garden party at a government guesthouse in [| Döllnsee], in a wooded area to the north of East Berlin, at which time Ulbricht signed the order to close the border and erect a wall. <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;"> <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;"> - On August 23, 1989, [| Hungary] removed its physical border defences with Austria, and in September more than 13,000 East German tourists in Hungary escaped to Austria. This set up a chain of events. The Hungarians prevented many more East Germans from crossing the border and returned them to Budapest. These East Germans flooded the West German embassy and refused to return to East Germany. The East German government responded by disallowing any further travel to Hungary, but allowed those already there to return. <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; color: rgb(19, 102, 174);">**Sightseeing** Top Berlin attractions include the massive Brandenburg Gate and the reconstructed Pariser Platz alongside. Walk from here to the beautiful Unter den Linden Boulevard. Another favourite Berlin tourist attraction is the old Berlin Wall border crossing at Check Point Charlie and its accompanying museum. The Eastside Gallery is a vast open-air gallery featuring large sections of the infamous wall. Visitors inevitably congregate at Potsdamer Platz, which has come to symbolise the rebuilding of Berlin since the fall of the wall in 1989. The Story of Berlin is an entertaining and informative exhibition featuring a 1970’s nuclear bunker.

===<span style="color: rgb(128, 0, 128);"> years after the fall, a private museum rebuilt a 200-metre (656 ft) section close to Checkpoint Charlie, although not in the location of the original wall. They also raised more than 1,000 crosses in memory of those who died attempting to flee to the West. The memorial was installed in October 2004 and demolished in July 2005. ===

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; color: rgb(19, 102, 174);">In the western part, between the Ku’damm (Kuken) and Tegel Airport is Schloss Charlottenburg, the Baroque palace with English gardens that Frederick I built for his wife Sophie-Charlotte.
