Checkpoint CharlieThis was a crossing point between East Berlin and West Berlin during the Cold War, located at the intersection of Friedrichstraße with Kochstraße.
Today, a line of bricks traces the path where the Berlin Wall once stood and visitors will find a replica of the Checkpoint Charlie booth and sign at the original site. The original booth is in the Allied Museum in Zehlendorf. The watchtower, also part of the original checkpoint, was removed in 2000 to make way for stores and offices though, currently, no commercial buildings occupy the space.
Visitors can also browse through the Haus am Checkpoint Charlie, located just metres from where the booth once stood. Built shortly after the Berlin Wall was erected, the museum was expanded in the 1990s and serves as a call to freedom for all individuals.
