We continued on towards the site of the remaining wall. Goebbels and Hitlers bunkers - now buried with rubble and covered by parking lots and apartment buildings - were once located in this part of the city along with other major Third Reich buildings, most destroyed during the war with the main exception being the Nazi Air Headquarters, now occupied by Germany's Finance Ministry. 

Scenes from Berlin - the Wall

Sightseeing bus passing by remaining section of the wall



The excellent Topography of Terror museum, documenting the years 1933-1945,  was built on the former site of the headquarters of the SS and Gestapo, next to the remaining section of the wall



Cobblestones in the streets mark the former location of the wall. These remembrance cobbles run throughout the city, sometimes even in the middle of buildings.



Checkpoint Charlie border crossing location, manned today by two actors playing American guards, next to the interesting but incredibly cluttered Museum of the Wall





Memorial to victims of the Berlin Wall, located near the Reichstag



Our tour ended at the Gendenmarkt, a lovely square flanked by twin churches.
