Escape tunnel

The escape tunnel is a fascinating historical site in Berlin that symbolizes the dramatic escape attempts during the Cold War. This tunnel was dug by courageous citizens of the GDR in the 1960s to enable people to find their way to freedom. During a visit you can see the narrow corridors that ran under the wall and experience the hardship-filled history up close. There are also informative exhibitions that shed light on the background to the escape stories and the political circumstances. In addition to the impressive engineering that was needed to create this tunnel, you will also gain insight into the lives of people in the divided city. The escape tunnel is not only a place of remembrance, but also an important memorial that gives you a better understanding of Berlin's history. Plan your visit and discover the exciting stories behind this impressive building.
