Title
House of Broadcasting in Berlin sealed off
Caption
A car with Soviet officers has to stop in front of a barbed fire fence on its way to the House of Broadcasting in Berlin on the 3rd of June in 1952.
The building was sealed off by British troops and the Soviets had to return.
Although it was located in the British sector of Berlin, the House of Broadcasting was used by the Broadcast of Berlin and controlled by the Soviets after World War II until 1952.
After a temporary blocking by the British Army, the building was given to the Senate of Berlin only in July 1956, who handed it over to the broadcaster "Freies Berlin" ("Free Berlin") after extensive renovation works.
