When was Berlin Wall build?
Although East Germany was already sealed off from West Germany, Berlin had an "open" border. In 1961, East Germany closed the border and built the Wall dividing West Berlin from East Berlin. The area of East Berlin was the Sovjet zone, while West Berlin was compounded of the French, British and U.S. zones. The Eastern Bloc, under the control of the USSR, fell in 1989, as did the infamous Wall". The next year, Germany celebrated Reunification (Oct. 3, 1990)
What happend to the people who jumped the Berlin Wall?
They were must likely shot. In rare and fortunate cases they might have escaped. Some people were shot. Some were captured by the Border Command and turned over for trial. Quite a few escaped. My favorite escape story was an East German man who walked up to a control point on the Berlin Wall, and waited next to the door until a guard came out. He told the guard, "I am trying to visit my sick grandmother in West Berlin, but I have forgotten my papers." The guard told him to go home and get his papers. He moved to the other side of the door, then waited for a different guard to come out. "I am trying to visit my sick grandmother in East Berlin, but I have forgotten my papers." The guard told him to go back into West Berlin and get his papers.
What was the date the Berlin Wall was built?
It is said that construction of the wall began early in the morning, on 13th August 1961, and took just 24 hours to complete. The original 'wall' was actually a barbed-wire topped fence. Over the next 14 years more fortified additions were made until the final larger and stronger concrete wall was constructed in 1975. This was the wall that stood until the opening of the checkpoints in 1989. All this information can be found together in one site: http://www.berlin-life.com/berlin/wall

What started the Berlin Wall?
August 13, 1961 and fell down in October 14 1989. Further information: The construction of the Berlin Wall began during the Cold War. Overnight on 13 August 1961, the East and Western halves of Berlin were separated by barbed wire fences up to 1.83 metres high. Over the next few days, troops began to replace the barbed wire with permanent concrete blocks, reaching up to 3.6m high. The government suthorities deemed it necessary to stop the influx of people moving from the eastern sector of Berlin into the free West. The wall began to come down around midnight on 9 November 1989, following the conclusion of an international press conference in East Berlin, when greater freedom of travel was announced for people of the German Democratic Republic. The official demolition of the Berlin wall began on 13 June 1990, and was undertaken by former East German border guards under a democratically elected government.
