At all times. The War Powers (USA, France, Great Britain, and the USSR) maintained guard posts at all their points of entry and departure. The city of Berlin was technically an occupied city from the end of WWII until the dissolution of the USSR and the reunification of Germany.
The Soviet Zone, or East Berlin, was the capital of the German Democratic Republic. The wall was built in 1961 in order to prevent GDR citizens fleeing to the US, British, or French zones. The Wall was continually improved to include razor wire, machine gun nests, watch towers, land mines, attack dogs, and trip-wire explosives.
Numbers are unclear, but at least 125 people were killed in their attempts to escape to the West.
