Actual entrance to the American sector in Berlin
This is the entry point to the american sector, today is a mayor tourist atraction and is on the border to the american sector of Berlin.
West Berlin was a free city and political enclave surrounded by East Berlin and East Germany that existed between 1949 and 1990. It was located some 100 miles east of the East/West German border and was accessible by land from West Germany only by a narrow rail and highway corridor. It comprised the western regions of Berlin, which were bordered by East Berlin and parts of East Germany. West Berlin consisted of the American, British, and French occupation sectors, which had been established in 1945. It was politically closely affiliated with, though not part of, West Germany. It had a special and unique legal status because its administration was formally conducted by the Western Allies. East Berlin consisted of the region occupied and administered by the Soviet Union, and was claimed as its capital by East Germany. The Western Allies did not recognise this claim, as they asserted that the entire city of Berlin was legally under four-power administration. The Berlin Wall, built in 1961, physically divided East and West Berlin until it fell in 1989.
With about two million inhabitants, West Berlin had the highest number of residents of any city in Cold War-era Germany

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the actual entrance to the American sector in Berlin, a significant historical landmark that now stands as a major tourist attraction. Situated on the border of the American sector of Berlin, this entry point holds immense historical significance. During the Cold War era, West Berlin served as a free city and political enclave surrounded by East Berlin and East Germany. Accessible only by a narrow rail and highway corridor from West Germany, it comprised the western regions of Berlin bordered by East Berlin and parts of East Germany. The American, British, and French occupation sectors were established here in 1945. With its unique legal status under Western Allied administration, West Berlin was closely affiliated with but not officially part of West Germany. In contrast, East Berlin was occupied by Soviet forces and claimed as its capital by East Germany. The iconic image is a reminder of how these two contrasting worlds coexisted within one city until they were physically divided by the infamous Berlin Wall in 1961. This concrete barrier stood tall for almost three decades before finally falling in 1989. Today, with approximately two million inhabitants during its Cold War-era peak population, West Berlin remains an enduring symbol of resilience amidst political turmoil. This remarkable photograph serves as both a testament to history's impact on our present-day world and an invitation for visitors to explore this fascinating chapter in German history firsthand.
