Checkpoint Charlie was one of the most famous crossing points between East and West Berlin during the Cold War. Located on Friedrichstrasse, it became a symbol of the division between the communist Eastern Bloc and the Western Allies. Established in 1961 after the construction of the Berlin Wall, the checkpoint was primarily used by diplomats, military personnel, and foreign tourists. The site witnessed several tense standoffs, including the famous tank face-off in October 1961.
