Berlin Wall, Germany. Its construction began on 13 August 1961, and it fell on 9 November 1989. The government of the German Democratic Republic (GDR) built this barrier, more than 150 km long, to completely isolate East Berlin from the rest of the GDR. Berlin Wall Memorial on Bernauer Strasse. Tunnel 57. Escape tunnel dug under the Wall. Between 3 and 4 October 1964, it was the scene of a mass escape of 57 East Berlin citizens to West Berlin. It was built from the basement of an abandoned bakery at 97 Bernauer Strasse (West Berlin), which at that time consisted of empty, boarded-up apartment buildings on the east side of Bernauer Strasse, to a backyard at 55 Strelitzer Strasse (East Berlin). It was designed by two engineers, Reinhard Furrer and Wolfgang Fuchs. Plaque marking the route of Tunnel 57 below the Berlin Wall.
