Too many people were leaving East Germany through West Berlin. from 1949 - 60 it was believed 3million people had left for the West. Eastern Europe was communist at the time so there were restrictions on travelling, soviet troops were lining every communist country. But as West Berlin was capitalist they had the freedom to travel and weren't linned with soviet troops so Eastern Europeans were travelling to East Germany to East Berlin and through West Berlin they could fly out to Another Country. Skilled workers were leaving East Germany which would decrease their economy but boost West Berlin's with flight money. Khrushchev (Head of Soviet Union and East Germany at the time) was getting angry so built the wall to stop them.

The Berlin wall was resolved by a croud of people who went on for days tearing the wall down.
The Berlin Wall was patrolled by soldiers on the East German side and they had orders to fire on people trying to climb over the wall to West Berlin.
The Berlin Wall Online Website (see link below) lists 192 people as having been killed on the Berlin Wall.

Nobody wants a permanent barrier between former West Berlin and its environs, but people do want small parts of the Berlin Wall to remain in place as a reminder of Berlin's history.
