Berlin Wall (An Introduction)
The Berlin Wall (or Berliner Mauer in German) was a concrete barrier built by the German Democratic Republic (GDR, or East Germany) that completely enclosed the city of West Berlin, separating it from the rest of East Germany, including East Berlin. The Berlin Wall was the symbol of the Cold War and was built on August 13, 1961. It included guard towers placed along large concrete walls, which circumscribed a wide area that contained many defences against anybody who wanted to cross the barrier unlawfully. Together with a different but longer Inner German border (IGB), both borders symbolize the Iron Curtain and shows the separation between Western Europe and the Eastern Bloc.
