Chris Gueffroy and his friend Christian Gaudian attempted to escape from this spot in February 1989. Gueffroy paid for the attempt with his life and Gaudian was seriously injured, arrested and later sentenced. In October 1989, Gaudian was released to West Berlin after the Federal Republic bought his freedom.

The four border guards involved were awarded the "Border Troops Achievement Badge" and 150 marks each.

all information on the plaque. An adjacent street was also named after him. If you follow this hike, it will also take you past the monument to the 1st dead of the wall.
