(9141) Fortifications, Berlin Wall, Berlin, German Democratic Republic, 1972

Buildings, pedestrians, and a streetcar are seen beyond a section of fortifications that surround the Berlin Wall, Berlin, German Democratic Republic (also known as East Germany). In the background a sign reads "Nicht feindschaft sondern normale beziehungen zur deutschen demokratischen republik bringen frieden und sicherheit fur westberlin", roughly translated as "Not hostility but normal relations to the DDR bring peace and security for West Berlin." The photograph was taken from a high point in West Berlin. Part of a series.
