It wasn't legal for an East German to go within three meters of the Wall unless they were inside a car - which is one of the reasons there was no graffiti on the eastern side. The total length of the Berlin Wall was 117 miles, which was also the distance from Soviet Checkpoint Alpha at Marienborn to Soviet Checkpoint Bravo at the outskirts of Berlin. The concrete used to build it contains asbestos.
