Expeditions with Birgit L.

On the mural, on the scout

We go in search of traces along the former border strip at the Berlin Wall Memorial. What was everyday life like (in a very practical way) for the residents of Bernauer Strasse “on both sides” when the wall of a house suddenly became a border wall overnight? The path takes us from the “Ghost Station” to the “Window of Remembrance,” the border installations memorial, via the “Chapel of Reconciliation” to the place where tunnels helped people escape and Conrad Schumann once jumped over the barbed wire to freedom.
