    Tips

    Whoever drives into Berlin from the south on the A115 today has very little reminder of a not too distant past. The GUSt (border crossing point) Dreilinden-Drewitz and the allied checkpoint Checkpoint Bravo were located here. Except for a watchtower, which is now preserved by an association, practically everything was demolished and made way for the Europarc Dreilinden industrial park. This corner has received and kept a lot of traces of history, especially through 28 years of the Wall.

    As soon as I got there, the Tagesspiegel reported about it.

      Old border crossing until 1969. Then the new Dreilinden border crossing was inaugurated. The ensemble is now a listed building and is to be restored. By the way, the 3 flagpoles were for the 3 western allies.

        The abandoned car bridge is a listed building. de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kontrollpunkt_Dreilinden_und_Teltowkanalbrücke

          The old motorway bridge with the former border control point Dreilinden.
          Replaced by the Drewitz checkpoint in the mid-1960s.

            A tragic story and a very odd bridge over the former border. I believe the border between Berlin and Brandenburg is the same as the old East/West border if you look on a map.

              Very cool place! A wide bridge but completely abandoned and partly overgrown. Almost fits into the nature around it. Here you have the feeling of being far out of town.

                You come over! A small (planned) passage in the barrier allows crossing.

                        there can be no question of recovery, as it looks now. The route of the old autobahn is almost completely overgrown, except for a (field) path.

                          The Dreilinden checkpoint and the Teltow Canal Bridge immediately to the north are the forerunners of Checkpoint Bravo and relics of a motorway route between the AVUS and the Berlin Ring that existed until 1969. A checkpoint for transit traffic on West Berlin territory was set up on the border between West Berlin and the GDR in the early 1950s. In 1969, the motorway, which had previously crossed the border between West Berlin and the GDR several times, was relocated. The remaining remnants of the West Berlin checkpoint, including the Berlin part of the Teltow Canal Bridge, are on the Berlin monument list, and the northern part of the bridge is a listed building in the municipality of Kleinmachnow.

                            Historically very exciting place.

                              So you can see how nature takes everything back. It was my highlight of this tour for me

                                You have to drive, walk, etc. over a small bridge. There is space for a bicycle or a stroller. But you would have to lift it over an approx. 10-15 cm increase
