For someone who was born in Berlin in the 1960s, this place simply belongs in the city. Today, visitors from all over the world stand at Checkpoint Charlie in Berlin and cannot imagine that a border crossing from one part of the city to the other once existed here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
In the middle of Friedrichstra\u00dfe is a large pole with a picture of a soldier. There is also a small wooden barrack with sandbags in front of it. Today, the sacks contain concrete instead of sand and the barracks are a replica – but that doesn’t change the popularity of the site. Checkpoint Charlie is still a magnet for visitors to Berlin from all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
