Berlin Wall Watchtower at Potsdamer Platz
The “BT 6“ tower, introduced in 1966, permitted panoramic surveillance. There were more than 200 towers of this type deployed along the border line surrounding West Berlin. The gunports were covered by heavy metal shutters that were pulled up for shooting. The solid construction was meant to protect the soldiers from fire originating from the potential enemy in the West. The cabin on top of the tower was manned around the clock: One surveyed the approaches from the GDR (“friendly“) side, the other kept his attention on the “enemy“- side. This is the only preserved example of this type of watchtower. And the oldest relict of the Berlin wall.
We have started a private initiative and have taken over this authentic relic from the City of Berlin. The purchase of your ticket or a donation will help us to restore this document of a bygone era further and assure its upkeep in the future.
