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.
