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 is the Berlin Wall used for?
The Berlin Wall was used to keep those Germans living in East Berlin from going into West Berlin and, therefore, West Germany. It was also used to keep West Germans and the American, French and British troops occupying West Germany from going into East Berlin. The wall, or in Germany referred to as Die Mauer, was built after WWII in the year 1961. Germany was divided into four sections. The French, the Americans and the British occupied the Western half and the Russians occupied the Eastern half. Berlin was the capital of Germany, therefore, it resembled the entire country, meaning it was divided in the same way the whole of Germany was divided. Today only specific sections of the wall remain standing. It officially fell in the year 1989 once again uniting the two sides of Germany. They left parts of it standing in order to commemorate those who died trying to cross over the wall in order to gain freedom from the communism the Russians brought. The wall left standing is also used to help Berliners remember their history. Where the wall has been torn down there is now a double line of bricks indicating where it once stood.
