It was an opening in the Berlin Wall through which strictly limited travel was allowed. The USSR-dominated East German government prevented East Germans from crossing the Wall to the West, sometimes by shooting those who tried.

Checkpoint Charlie was in the Friedrichstadt section of the city, and was the only crossing point authorized for Allied military forces.
