Checkpoint Charlie
The atrocious border crossing point in the wall dividing West and East Berlin has now become a shrine to the wall's memory with the addition of a museum, Haus am Checkpoint Charlie. For nearly 30 years, among 1961 and 1990, Checkpoint Charlie in the Friedrichstrasse was the only crossing point among East and West Berlin. The soldier's post can be visited, and tourists can be photographed under the border sign.
