On the night of March 9th to 10th, 1963, the Aagaard family, who lived on Ottostrasse in Glienicke, managed to escape to West Berlin with a total of 13 people through a 50 m long tunnel that they had dug themselves in six months. Seventy-year-old grandmother Gertrud was pulled through the tunnel on an air mattress.
