Insider goes to Check Point Alpha
Here are some fotos from a recent Insider guides' foray to the
German-German border crossing point Marienborn/Alpha. This was a major
East/West crossing point where the DDR controlled all traffic
through their territory and en route to Berlin. This is an
expansive 35 hectare complex with access to many original buildings
which retain their authenticity and are now being used for excellent
exhibitions (although unfortunately not all in English). This
complex once employed 1.000 with millions of people controlled here over a 45 year period, some unwittingly with X-ray.
Oh, how Europe has changed!
