    At Mühlenstraße, the Spree River belonged entirely to East Berlin, and since 1961, the Wall, fences, and border guards blocked access to the river, violently preventing escape attempts and resulting in several deaths.

    From 1972 onward, a border crossing existed at the Oberbaum Bridge, allowing pedestrians to travel from West to East Berlin and pensioners from East Germany to West Berlin.
