Former East Berlin Escape Tunnel Opens To Visitors

BERLIN, GERMANY - NOVEMBER 07: Michael Mueller, Major of Berlin, peers in a restored tunnel once used in an attempt to help people escape from East Berlin into West Berlin on November 7, 2019 in Berlin, Germany. The tunnel, built in 1971 by a team led by Hasso Herschel, led from the basement of a brewery in West Berlin under the Berlin Wall into East Berlin. East German secret police, however, received a tip from an informant and scuttled the plot, arresting at least 12 people who were hoping to flee westward. Between 1961 and 1984 there were approximately 70 tunnels dug, 19 of which led to the successful escape of about 300 people from East Berlin. Germany will celebrate the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, which led to the collapse of the East German communist government and the eventual reunification of East and West Berlin, on November 9.
