During the Cold War, Checkpoint Charlie was one of the gates of the Berlin Wall located in the city centre of Berlin, Germany (for foreigners there was only one more: the Friedrichstrasse U-Bahn station) http://www.wall-berlin.org/gb/mur_tex2.htm. The wall was erected on 13 August 1961; the GDR (East German) gate in that wall facing Checkpoint Charlie was soon reinforced to prevent East Germans leaving.
