Niederkirchner Straße Niederkirchner Straße is one of the four places in Berlin where there still are large parts of the wall, the other three being Bernauer Str., Eastside Gallery and Mauerpark.In Niederkirchner Str. you find the most visited part of the Berlin wall. That's because it's pretty central and all sightseeing busses go here. The wall is not the original GDR version as it was from 1961 to 1989. If you are looking for that, you better go to Bernauer Straße. The wall in Niederkirchner Straße has been heavily damaged. Because for a period of ten years folks had arrived with chisels all over Berlin and chipped out private souvenirs. So the wall now has a lot of holes which of course aren't pre-1989. In the Nazi era the street was called Prinz-Albrecht-Straße housing the headquarters of the Gestapo and the SS. Right by the wall you find the Nazi Terror Documentation Center. More details: Wikipedia How to get there:
Take U2 to Mohrenstr. or S1,
S2, S25 to Anhalter Bahnhof. From both stations it's a ten
minute walk to the wall.
