summary: "The Berlin Wall (Berliner Mauer) was a fortified barrier separating East and West Berlin constructed by East Germany beginning August 13, 1961, to halt mass emigration from the GDR to the West. At its completion it ran approximately 155 kilometers around West Berlin, consisting of concrete walls, watchtowers, death strips, and fortified checkpoints. An estimated 140 people were killed attempting to cross. The Wall fell on November 9, 1989, following a miscommunication at a Stasi press conference, and its demolition accelerated the reunification of Germany."
