To prevent the Western powers from demanding the Wall be removed because it was on Western territory, the East Germans built the inside wall exactly 30 centimeters on their side of the DDR-West Berlin border. 30 centimeters doesn't sound like much, but when one considers the whole Wall was 117 miles in length you can see the DDR gave up many acres of land.
