I walked it in the spring of 2020. It was my compensation during the Corona restrictions, a time when all borders in the EU and beyond were suddenly closed. Our freedom to travel, which we had taken for granted, had suddenly moved into the distant future for an indefinite period. GDR jokes were dug out and turned into corona jokes. It was - and still is - a time that made me think. Which taught me that nothing should be taken for granted. What could be more appropriate than walking the Berlin Wall Trail in this context? How must people in East Berlin have felt back then, when a wall was being built before their eyes? When their normality suddenly changed? I know that the comparison is a bit vague - but nevertheless I have seen the meaning of borders with different eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But working through history is not the only reason for starting the Wall Walk. The path is simply the only long-distance hiking trail in or around Berlin and offers great opportunities for some exercise in the countryside (depending on the section) and in the fresh air. And the Berlin Wall Trail also has some really exciting highlights to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-attachment-id=\"9453\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/en\/berliner-mauerweg-highlights\/berliner-mauerweg-1\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/berliner-mauerweg-1.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1200,800\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"berliner-mauerweg-1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/berliner-mauerweg-1-1024x683.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/berliner-mauerweg-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9453\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/berliner-mauerweg-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/berliner-mauerweg-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/berliner-mauerweg-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/berliner-mauerweg-1-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/berliner-mauerweg-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The section north of the Eichwerder Moorwiesen <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Stages of the Berlin Wall Trail<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Berlin Wall Trail is <strong>divided into 14 stages for hikers<\/strong>.

Here you can still see a piece of the hinterland wall of the border fortifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-attachment-id=\"9403\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/en\/berliner-mauerweg-highlights\/berliner-mauerweg-bornholmer-strasse\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/berliner-mauerweg-bornholmer-strasse.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1024,683\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"berliner-mauerweg-bornholmer-strasse\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/berliner-mauerweg-bornholmer-strasse.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/berliner-mauerweg-bornholmer-strasse.jpg\" alt=\"Berliner Mauerweg Highlights - Bornholmer Stra\u00dfe mit Platz des 9.

You'll have to plan a little more time here. Numerous information pillars document the events on Bernauer Strasse with photos and touching texts. This is where particularly dramatic escapes occurred in August 1961. Because the houses on Bernauer Strasse were in the east, but the pavement in front of the houses belonged to the French sector. When the border guards here began to wall up the windows of the ground floor apartments in August 1961, many of the residents tried to flee from the upper windows. Not everyone was lucky. Finally, the houses were cleared and demolished in 1965.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several <strong>escape tunnels <\/strong>were also dug in Bernauer Strasse. Their location is indicated on the ground by markings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of Bernauer Strasse it is worth visiting the <strong><a aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.berliner-mauer-gedenkstaette.de\/de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Documentation Center <\/a>and the <a aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.berliner-mauer-gedenkstaette.de\/de\/besucherzentrum-560.htmlv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Berlin Wall Memorial Visitor Center<\/a><\/strong>.

The trains of today's U-Bahn lines 6 and 8 and the north-south connection of the S-Bahn then passed under East Berlin without stopping. They slowly drove past the abandoned and closed stations - although - they were not that abandoned. Here, too, armed border guards made sure that nobody used the underground railway tunnels to escape. This certainly made the ghost stations a bit scarier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-attachment-id=\"9400\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/en\/berliner-mauerweg-highlights\/geisterbahnhoefe-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/geisterbahnhoefe-2.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1200,800\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"geisterbahnhoefe-2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/geisterbahnhoefe-2-1024x683.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/geisterbahnhoefe-2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Berliner Mauerweg Highlights - Grenz- und Geisterbahnh\u00f6fe\" class=\"wp-image-9400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/geisterbahnhoefe-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/geisterbahnhoefe-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/geisterbahnhoefe-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/geisterbahnhoefe-2-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/geisterbahnhoefe-2.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The exhibition \"Border Stations and Ghost Stations in Divided Berlin\" brings a topic to the table that is otherwise only mentioned in the margin.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Nordbahnhof was one such ghost station.

Rosemarie Schinzler - \"Everything open\"<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The East Side Gallery was built after the opening of the Berlin Wall between spring and autumn 1990. 118 artists from 21 countries painted the then grey concrete wall with <strong>106 works of art<\/strong>. And thus saved the Wall from demolition. In their paintings, the artists expressed the political changes of 1989\/90 and their joy over the fall of the Wall. In November 1991, the wall and its paintings were finally listed as a historical monument. However, environmental influences and overpainting caused the paintings to suffer. After minor restoration measures, a complete restoration finally took place in 2009. The works of art were removed and the respective artists were asked to repaint their paintings with more resistant colours. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The white side of the East Side Gallery - a shadow catcher<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The side of the East Side Gallery facing the Spree River was recently painted white. At first I interpreted this as preparation for new works of art. But I was completely wrong. The East Side Gallery has been restored to its original pre-1989 condition. In its function as a barrier element, this side of the wall had been painted light-colored since the 1980s. The border guards were supposed to be able to see the shadows of people fleeing more easily. The historical condition of the Wall should be made visible to the visitor again and contribute to a deeper understanding of this place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-attachment-id=\"9409\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/en\/berliner-mauerweg-highlights\/east-side-gallery-white-site\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/east-side-gallery-white-site.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1200,800\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"east-side-gallery-white-site\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/east-side-gallery-white-site-1024x683.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/east-side-gallery-white-site-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Berliner Mauerweg Highlights - East Side Gallery\" class=\"wp-image-9409\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/east-side-gallery-white-site-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/east-side-gallery-white-site-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/east-side-gallery-white-site-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/east-side-gallery-white-site-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/east-side-gallery-white-site.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The white side of the East Side Gallery: in front of the white paint, the border guards could see the shadows of fugitives better.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"man\">#9 Check Point  for Vessels and Molecule Man<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The \"Molecule Man\" by Jonathan Borofsky can be seen from far away.

Lichterfelde S\u00fcd to Griebnitzsee is a highlight for all fans of <strong>Lost Places<\/strong>. Here you can discover two abandoned places. The <strong>border checkpoint Dreilinden<\/strong> on today's A115 and the <strong>original border checkpoint Dreilinden near Teerofenbr\u00fcck with the remains of the former motorway route<\/strong>. At that time the highway was too close to the inner German border. Therefore, it was relocated. The border control point was also newly built and is known as Checkpoint Bravo. Its red-blue-yellow pop-art rotunda was a strong contrast to the gray border installations of the GDR. It was opened in 1973. Since 2002, however, the entire Dreilinden rest area has been abandoned and has decayed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-attachment-id=\"8814\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/en\/lost-places-berlin-brandenburg\/grenzkontrollstelle-dreilinden\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/grenzkontrollstelle-dreilinden.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1200,800\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"grenzkontrollstelle-dreilinden\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/grenzkontrollstelle-dreilinden-1024x683.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/grenzkontrollstelle-dreilinden-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8814\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/grenzkontrollstelle-dreilinden-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/grenzkontrollstelle-dreilinden-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/grenzkontrollstelle-dreilinden-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/grenzkontrollstelle-dreilinden-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/grenzkontrollstelle-dreilinden.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Anyone who has ever traveled to Berlin on the A115 knows the former Checkpoint Bravo.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There is not much left of the former Dreilinden border inspection post.

At the time of the division, the place was only accessible via this small bridge with a special pass. At one of the houses you can still see the faded <strong>red advertising of a former consumer<\/strong> - the supermarket chain of the GDR. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-attachment-id=\"9319\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/en\/berliner-mauerweg-highlights\/berliner-mauerweg-griebnitzsee\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/berliner-mauerweg-griebnitzsee.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1200,800\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"berliner-mauerweg-griebnitzsee\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/berliner-mauerweg-griebnitzsee-1024x683.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/berliner-mauerweg-griebnitzsee-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Berliner Mauerweg Highlights - fr\u00fcherer Konsum-Markt\" class=\"wp-image-9319\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/berliner-mauerweg-griebnitzsee-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/berliner-mauerweg-griebnitzsee-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/berliner-mauerweg-griebnitzsee-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/berliner-mauerweg-griebnitzsee-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/berliner-mauerweg-griebnitzsee.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The red font \"Konsum\" still hangs on the former supermarket in Klein Glienicke.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Wall Trail then leads you past the Glienicke Bridge and along the banks of the Havel. From here you have a view of the Sacrower Heilandskirche and the Pfaueninsel. Side trips are worthwhile. Behind the Pfaueninsel, the Mauerweg then runs on the Pfaueninselchaussee to K\u00f6nigstra\u00dfe. This is not particularly exciting, especially since there is also traffic here. Alternatively, you can walk through the Grunewald forest and enjoy the peace or simply continue along the riverside path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"bruecke\">#13 Glienicke Bridge aka \"Unit Bridge\" or \"Agent Bridge\"<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1660 there was a bridge on the site of today's Glienicke Bridge, which connected Berlin and Potsdam. Shortly before the end of the Second World War, the Glienicke Bridge was blown up by German soldiers. The Soviet troops temporarily built a pontoon bridge. It was not until December 1949 that the bridge was restored and henceforth had the name <strong>&#8220;Br\u00fccke der Einheit&#8221;<\/strong> - as a reminder of the unity of the anti-fascist parties. But in 1952 it was closed and was only passable with a special pass. The \u201cBridge of Unity\u201d was now part of the border that separated Berlin and Potsdam. As an <strong>&#8220;Agentenbr\u00fccke&#8221; <\/strong>, it finally became a <strong>mystical place of the Cold War<\/strong>. This was because agents were exchanged between east and west over the bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-attachment-id=\"9322\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/en\/berliner-mauerweg-highlights\/berliner-mauerweg-gienicker-bruecke_03\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/berliner-mauerweg-gienicker-bruecke_03.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1200,800\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"berliner-mauerweg-gienicker-bruecke_03\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/berliner-mauerweg-gienicker-bruecke_03-1024x683.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/berliner-mauerweg-gienicker-bruecke_03-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Berliner Mauerweg Highlights - Glienicker Br\u00fccke\" class=\"wp-image-9322\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/berliner-mauerweg-gienicker-bruecke_03-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/berliner-mauerweg-gienicker-bruecke_03-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/berliner-mauerweg-gienicker-bruecke_03-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/berliner-mauerweg-gienicker-bruecke_03-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/berliner-mauerweg-gienicker-bruecke_03.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Glienicke Bridge was restored in 1949.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-attachment-id=\"9321\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/en\/berliner-mauerweg-highlights\/berliner-mauerweg-gienicker-bruecke\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/berliner-mauerweg-gienicker-bruecke.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1200,800\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"berliner-mauerweg-gienicker-bruecke\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/berliner-mauerweg-gienicker-bruecke-1024x683.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/berliner-mauerweg-gienicker-bruecke-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9321\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/berliner-mauerweg-gienicker-bruecke-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/berliner-mauerweg-gienicker-bruecke-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/berliner-mauerweg-gienicker-bruecke-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/berliner-mauerweg-gienicker-bruecke-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/fernwehmotive.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/berliner-mauerweg-gienicker-bruecke.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The \u201cBridge of Unity\u201d became the border for decades<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"sacrow\">#14 Sacrower Heilandskirche<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Sacrower Heilandskirche gives a nice picture.
