    another road that breaks through the (former) border 👍🏻

    Translated by Google •

      The almost 1,400 kilometer long inner-German border (also known as the German-German border) prevented the inhabitants of the German Democratic Republic from visiting the Federal Republic of Germany or leaving permanently to the West until 1989 through massive fortifications.[1] This did not include the part of the GDR's border with Berlin, whose western sectors within Berlin were cordoned off by the Berlin Wall from 1961. The course of the demarcation lines between the western occupation zones and the Soviet occupation zone (SBZ) was determined by the main victorious powers of the Second World War in several conferences and continued in this geographical form after the two German states were founded in 1949.

        The border began in the south at the border triangle of Bavaria, Saxony / GDR, Czechoslovakia and ended at the Baltic Sea in the Bay of Lübeck on the Priwall peninsula. During the Cold War, militarily and geopolitically, it was part of the Iron Curtain.
