The only building right next to the Wall to survive
its construc-
tion and expansion can be found on the Flutgraben channel in
the Treptow borough of Berlin. Now artist studios, the building
once belonged to a state-owned company in the GDR era.
The guided tour explores this unusual part of the Wall. Visitors
are shown barricaded windows, border soldiers’ inscriptions
and the remains of signal installations and are taken up to the
20-meter-high roof overlooking the Spree and Osthafen which
served as a sentry point for GDR border troops.
The tour is open to adults and teenagers 14 years and up
accompanied by parents or teachers, 20 people maximum.
It takes 90 minutes and is also available in English and
French. The tour is not suitable for disabled.
