DDR stands for "Deutsche Demokratische Republik," which translates to "German Democratic Republic" in English. It was the official name for East Germany from its founding in 1949 until its reunification with West Germany in 1990. The DDR was a socialist state under the influence of the Soviet Union, and its legacy continues to influence Berlin's culture and history today.

What would happen if people tried to get to the other side of the Berlin wall?
It depended on your nationality, which way you were crossing it, and if you got caught. As far as the West Berlin authorities were concerned, there was no restriction on crossing the border. Anybody could cross from West Berlin to the DDR (East Germany, which surrounded West Berlin) or back again, without restriction. The DDR authorities did not have restrictions on letting people in. Crossing from the DDR to West Berlin was different. Western citizens (West Berlin citizens, BRD citizens (West German) and others) could cross back to West Berlin without problems. DDR and other Eastern Block citizens were not allowed by the DDR government to leave the country without permission. If they were caught, they would be sent to prison for a number of years. There was also a high risk of being shot while trying to cross the border illegally. If you succeeded in reaching West Berlin, there was no penalty; but you could never return to the DDR, as you were a wanted criminal.

Germany.The Berlin Wall was built in East Germany.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.
