In the life of regular Berliners, this was the most important crossing point between east and west Berlin. Unlike Check-Point Charlie, this is an authentic place with an excellent free museum.

free museum about the lives of Berliners separated by the wall. This was the former check point between east and west berlin, where lots of families parted forever, i.e. the name: palace of tears.

The former checkpoint between East and West Berlin turned into museum. Small and informative.
