Heute vor 65 Jahren, in der Nacht zum 13. August 1961, riegelte die SED-Führung West-Berlin ab. Zwei Monate zuvor hatte DDR-Staatschef Walter Ulbricht erklärt: „Niemand hat die Absicht, eine Mauer zu errichten."

Drei Tage nach dem Mauerbau sprach W***y Brandt, damals Regierender Bürgermeister von West-Berlin, vor dem Rathaus Schöneberg. Er appellierte an Volkspolizei, Volksarmee und Betriebskampfgruppen der DDR, nicht auf die eigenen Landsleute zu schießen.

Es wurde geschossen. An der Berliner Mauer kamen bis 1989 mindestens 140 Menschen ums Leben, 101 von ihnen auf der Flucht.

Am Abend des 9. November 1989 öffnete der diensthabende Leiter des Grenzübergangs Bornholmer Straße die Schlagbäume. Ein Schuss fiel nicht.
