Klein Glienicke (alternative spelling: Klein-Glienicke) is a district of Potsdam that became known as a bathing and excursion location in the early 20th century. During the division of Germany, Klein-Glienicke was a functional exclave and "special security zone" of the German Democratic Republic and was thus referred to as the "appendix of the GDR". Parts of the place, including the well-known Swiss houses, are on the list of protected UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Source: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klein_Glienicke A relic of the GDR: consumption. At least one house still has the name of the grocery store.

Klein Glienicke belonged to the GDR, the immediately adjacent castles belonged to West Berlin. The small town was right on the border area and could only be reached from Babelsberg over the park bridge.
On the night of July 25-26, 1973, two brothers with their wives and five children (14, 12, 10, 9 and 7 years old) flee from Klein Glienicke through a 19-meter-long tunnel they built to West Berlin. They only dug with a children's shovel and a handle-less spade, transported the excavated material with a wooden chute with three wheels and then heaped it up in the cellar.
