Love your presentations. Since subscribing to your channel I realise that a return journey to Berlin is long overdue AND I’ll need a minimum of a month long stay just to try see everything you’ve posted in your videos.

Fascinating. I thought that I knew Berlin very well, although I have never heard of this part of the wall.

My father is (originally) from Gößnitz, close,to Altenburg. Your channel is amazing! It’s nice to see that a Dutch (or Flemish?) person has a channel about the DDR. Subscribed 👍🏻

Absolutely loving your channel! I have visited Berlin three times. First time in the eighties when I had the opportunity to visit the old DDR! My next visit I will specifically visit certain places. I went with my daughter in February and it was only for two nights. It was so strange walking around Alexanderplatz and Karl-Marx-Allee.

Thanks for sharing your experience! It certainly must have been a weird feeling being back at the same location under completely different circumstances.

What a great find! I find it sad and shortsighted that the BRD tore down virtually every last bit of the wall. That's very uncharacteristic for them. I'd have expected, say, a couple dozen 50m or 100m sections to have been left standing to remind people of history.

I recently visited Berlin, and it was a bit weird walking down Invalidenstrasse. And seeing areas I recognized from pre-unification (although I did get a slight satisfied feeling wiping dogshit off my boot onto Reinhard Heydrich's grave site at Invalidenfriedhof - something that was once impossible as it was once in the death zone.)

Close to Checkpoint Bravo there are also parts of the wall that are forgotten in the woods. Also some parts of the old highway (that was replaced in the 60's) towards Berlin from there have remains. Or at least last time I checked10 years ago.

Just discovered your channel and I'm really enjoying your videos - super well-produced and informative. Would love to see more content covering remaining relics from the communist era - particularly monuments/place names which still survive and how that came to be the case - I find it fascinating that some aspects of that time have been completely erased but others were left intact. Thanks for making such great content and please keep going!

I got a question, after the fall of the wall, were there suicides from various GDR politicians and or leaders. What of those that served with the NVA? I am aware of the high suicide rates from within East Germany, but I am just curious of how many suicides there were after the fall of the wall, especially from those that were very involved with the DDR, military and non-military alike. I tried googling about that subject and there seems to be very little information regarding that subject.

I am not aware of suicide of GDR politicians after the wall fell, however, there are a number of sad cases of Stasi employees and SED-officials. Maybe there is someone else who can help you with a more accurate answer.

Well, there is the very sad case of the GDR Border Guard Konrad Schumann. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konrad_Schumann not really a politician but essentially rejected by his community after going back to the East once the wall came down.

At one end of Liesenstrasse there’s still a section of wall remaining, complete with its circular top. It’s on Google earth.

Why do Germans deface everything with graffiti? I know it's common (and unfortunate) throughout Europe, but seems to be worse in Germany.
