The bilingual website www.chronik-der-mauer.de and the “Berlin Wall”-apps are constantly revised, updated and extended. On the basis of so far partially unpublished documents, film and sound material, photographs and interviews with main actors as well as own research, the dramatic events during the construction and fall of the Wall up to the political unification of Germany are reconstructed and illustrated as well as the most important stations of German division shown.
