Checkpoint Charlie Museum

(Local Name: Haus am Checkpoint Charlie) A few yards south of the former border crossing in Berlin is Checkpoint Charlie Museum. It documents the civil and human rights movements which developed here, and, above all, the story of the division of Germany, the Berlin Wall and of those who gave their lives. Photos, documents and numerous original vehicles, apparatus and gadgets all show the inventive skills and courage displayed by those desperate enough to want to cross over.
