25 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall 1989.
Checkpoint Charlie was one of the main gateways for crossing between the two halves of Berlin during the Cold War. The naming of the checkpoints was based on the phonetic alphabet, and as this was the third such checkpoint it was given the name of Charlie..It became a symbol of the Cold War - representing the division of East & West - and was seen as a gateway to freedom for the East Germans.
