East Germans escaped in a variety of ways varying from simple plans to ingenious escape plots. The 28 years of the wall's existence saw roughly 40,000 escapees. As the wall's defenses were increased over the years so had to evolve these escape plans. While in the beginning simply sneaking through the defenses with wire cutters offered a chance of freedom, as did ramming a vehicle through the wall, or smuggling people through the border in hidden vehicle compartments, later escape plans had to evolve to more complicated methods such as digging tunnels, running zip lines from building to building, building homemade hot-air balloons.
The very best way would have been to escape the most unexpected way: Go east instead of west (the long way around).
A lot people escaped to West berlin in different ways. Some climbed over the wall, some dug under, some flew over the wall in a blimp made out of small patches of fabric or in a plane.
The people who survived escaping East Berlin either had to face vast mine fields or head southeast toward Czechoslovakia and then they would enter West Germany.
flying was always an option. there were also heavily guarded trains

East Berlin was the capital of Communist East Germany. However, many East Germans wanted to escape East Germany in order to find freedom in West Germany. The easiest way to do this was to cross into West Berlin, which was an enclave of West Germany that was completely surrounded by East German territory. The East German government was dismayed by the number that East Germans who were leaving East Germany and, therefore, built the Berlin Wall in 1961 in order to prevent the further hemorrhaging of population.
No! Go away!
To prevent the escape from the east to the west.
Not at all.East Berlin,as like the rest of East Germany,became a communist state under Russia.While this was the case,East Germany suffered badly,through lack of essential goods and services,akin to the problems Russia itself was experiening.Life was harsh and backward,not progressive in any way,for the average person anyway.

Anyone who had skills that could be sold in the West, like doctors and engineers, were defecting from East Germany to West Germany. (Oh yeah...they forgot to tell you. The East Germans built another "wall" - well, fence - along the border between East and West Germany.) The Soviets told East German dictator Walter Ulbricht to think of a way to stop the defections from happening, and Ulbricht decided to build a wall all the way around West Berlin.

The best way to escape if a sudden flood is coming is to try to get to higher ground. Do not drive or walk through moving water.
It was the gate that separated East and West Germany. To go either way there was a checkpoint at the gate.
