Probably the Berlin Wall... I think that it would be.
Berlin wall
Check point Charlie was the most famous crossing point in Berlin.
Most of Berlin Wall has been dismantled with many sections being gifted by the German government to local and foreign museums. However, there are still bits of it standing where they were in the center of Berlin, especially in the area close to the Checkpoint Charlie Museum.
This was the most famous connecting point between East Berlin and West Berlin during the Cold war division of Germany into East Germany and West Germany, and Berlin into East Berlin and West Berlin. 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. West Berlin was an isolated enclave within the Eastern Zone until the Berlin Wall was torn down in 1989, leading to the 1990 reunification of Germany. Checkpoint Charlie was in the Friedrichstadt section of the city, and was the only crossing point authorized for Allied military forces.
As president Ronald Reagan was famous for several things. Perhaps he is most famous for saying (while at the Berlin Wall), 'Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.'
Germany is famous for various reasons. The Berlin wall is Germany's most famous structure. Albert Einstein, Bruce Willis, Anna Frank are all Germans.
American soldiers began guarding the Berlin Wall when it was constructed on August 13, 1961, to prevent East Germans from fleeing to West Berlin. The wall became a symbol of the Cold War, and U.S. military personnel were stationed in West Berlin to ensure the safety of its residents and to deter any aggression from East Germany. American troops maintained a visible presence at various checkpoints, most notably at Checkpoint Charlie, until the wall's fall on November 9, 1989.
