West Berliners were allowed to visit East Berlin at certain times of the year. The actual dates varied a lot from year to year. West Berliners could also send letters. Phoning was possible but expensive. (Letters were subject to censorship and phone calls were often wire-tapped). Movement in the opposite direction was very difficult. Before the Berlin Wall was put up there were no restrictions on movement.
