A Look at the Wall
(Heidelberger Strasse, Neukoelln district, 1979)
"Among the Oddities Related to the Wall, There Was a Bell to Allow Access to the Gardens in the Erlengrund Exclave. When the bell was rung in the western side, the GDR border guards reacted to the signal. Through an electrical device, they opened a sliding door in the Wall allowing the way into the eastern sector." (Spandau district, 1979) [Müller-Schneck, 2009]
