Freedom was more important than fear

Just eleven days after the Berlin Wall was erected, 24-year-old tailor Günter Litfin attempted to escape to West Berlin by swimming across the Humboldthafen. Meters from reaching safety, East German border guards opened fire. Günter was fatally struck, becoming the first person killed by gunfire at the Berlin Wall. His death revealed the harsh reality of the border regime to the entire world. Today, we remember his courage and honor all those who risked everything in the pursuit of freedom.

----------------------

Freiheit war wichtiger als die Angst

Nur elf Tage nach dem Bau der Berliner Mauer versuchte der 24-jährige Schneider Günter Litfin, durch Schwimmen über den Humboldthafen nach West-Berlin zu fliehen.

Nur wenige Meter vom rettenden Ufer entfernt eröffneten DDR-Grenzsoldaten das Feuer. Günter wurde tödlich getroffen und war damit der erste Mensch, der an der Berliner Mauer durch Schüsse getötet wurde.

Sein Tod machte der ganzen Welt die grausame Realität des Grenzregimes bewusst. Heute erinnern wir uns an seinen Mut und ehren all jene, die im Streben nach Freiheit alles riskierten.

🕊️ A powerful note from our guestbook today, written by Maddy From Italy who lived through 1989:
"I was 14 in '89 and I remember the emotion, joy, and hope of those moments—above all, the faith in a different world, conscious of a destructive past, building a better future for everyone. Unfortunately, it hasn’t turned out that way, but people tried, and this museum proves it. Thank you." >
— Maddy*

History is not just about the past—it is about keeping the hope for peace alive for every generation that follows.

🎸 The Wall: Pink Floyd’s Rock Legacy Meets Berlin History 🧱✨

We had the pleasure of welcoming Athouel Bewoit from France, who absolutely loved his visit to The Wall Museum at the East Side Gallery.

His biggest highlight? The Pink Floyd exhibition room. Athouel was amazed to discover that The Wall wasn’t just a legendary rock album, but also an unforgettable part of Berlin’s history.

In July 1990, more than 350,000 people gathered in the former “death strip” at Potsdamer Platz for Roger Waters’ iconic live concert, transforming the music into a powerful global anthem for unity and freedom. 🕊️🎸

Merci beaucoup for visiting and sharing your enthusiasm with us, Athouel! 🙌

Born in the year history changed forever. 🧱🕊️
We had the absolute pleasure of welcoming Jane David all the way from South Wales to The Wall Museum at the East Side Gallery!
Born in 1989—the pivotal year the Berlin Wall finally fell—walking through our 13 thematic rooms was a uniquely powerful experience for him. Jane loved the immersive museum concept and shared how vital it is for everyone, especially younger generations, to visit and understand the real human stories behind the Cold War and the fight for freedom.
“An amazing museum concept that is truly important for everyone to visit.”
Thank you for visiting us and sharing your perspective, Jane! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🙌

A Memory of the Wall Coming Down

“What an excitement it was. It still touches me very deeply. The feeling of so many who had hoped to be united again has come through.

We lived in Florida at the time, but I was born in what is today the Czech Republic. My family was expelled and had to flee. So reunification — returning to your homeland and seeing a dream come true — was something very special. Even today, I am deeply touched.”

— Ellen a visitor of The Wall Museum from the USA

A Familiar Face in History: Visitor Recognizes Late Friend at The Wall Museum 🚂🕊️

While watching the documentary video “Trains of Freedom, chronicling the historic autumn of 1989 when thousands of East German refugees traveled from Prague to the West, this guest had an unforgettable moment.
Looking closely at the archival footage of the train carriages, he recognized a face in the crowd—an old friend who has since passed away. For over 28 years, the Berlin Wall separated families, friends, and entire lives.

Moments like this remind us that behind every archival photo, artifact, and video screen at The Wall Museum, there are real human connections, living memories, and stories that must never be forgotten. 🧱❤️

Thank you for visiting us and sharing such a deeply touching memory!
