Here are a few sights of mine, after an afternoon in Berlin’s Kreuzberg district.
One Wall Mehringplatz (2014), by Shepard Fairey 🇺🇸.

Checkpoint C: Friedrichstraße at Zimmerstrasse, facing north. Note the line of bricks across the street and the horizontal metal “plate” at lower left.
The line of bricks traces the former Berlin Wall (1961-1989).
Memorial to Peter Fechter who died at the Berlin Wall on 17 Aug 1962. Trying to escape into West Berlin, the 18 year old was shot by border guards, and bled to death alone in the border strip. The stele and paving with red-basalt circular-disk stone marks the spot where he died, on the East Berlin side, next to the Wall.
“Peter Fechter, 1944-1962: All he wanted was freedom.”
This street ran along the Berlin Wall from 1961 to 1990. Construction worker Peter Fechter was shot here trying to escape from East to West on 17 August 1962.
The “mobile & me” needed a boost. Phone got some charge, as I sat inside a bakery from one of the national chains, Kamps, with a Milchkaffee (latté) and Zitronenkuchen (lemon cake). Nothing “heavy”!
Stadtmitte U-Bahn station entrance “J”, in the middle of Friedrichstraße.
