You'll also explore a symbolic rye field with 14,000 plants representing individuals who successfully escaped East Germany.
Stories from the Cold War
Your journey continues through the death strip to a demolished church that still echoes tales of past tragedies. Along Bernauer Strasse—a street marked by poignant separations and daring escapes—you'll uncover fascinating stories, including those surrounding Tunnel 57 and where guard Conrad Schuhmann famously jumped over the Wall.
