Berlin Wall Memorial 1966 (#2508)

An illustration of the progression of the wall, with the Protestant Church of the Reconciliation Parish as reference point.

In this photo, taken in 1966, the apartment building and other buildings having been torn down so as create the death strip. Note that the outer wall, at this time, is made up of the facings of the buildings that were there, thus providing clear reminders of the apartments.

Photo is of a photographic series in the Wall Museum. See: www.berliner-mauer-gedenkstaette.de/en/chapel-of-reconciliation-216.html
