when did the wall go up in east germany?
1961
the berlin wall was a barrier that divided berlin from 1961 to 1989, constructed by the german democratic republic (gdr, east germany) starting on 13 august 1961, that completely cut off (by land) west berlin from surrounding east germany and from east berlin until it was opened in november 1989. its demolition officially began on 13 june 1990 and was completed in 1992. the barrier included guard towers placed along large concrete walls, which circumscribed a wide area (later known as the "death strip") that contained anti-vehicle trenches, "fakir beds" and other defenses. the eastern bloc claimed that the wall was erected to protect its population from fascist elements conspiring to prevent the "will of the people" in building a socialist state in east germany. in practice, the wall served to prevent the massive emigration and defection that marked east germany and the communist eastern bloc during the post-world war ii period.
