East German train running through Savignyplatz S-Bahnhof in 1986. The engine type is a Russian class 132 “Ludmilla” diesel, number 132 466. The livery was normally dark red with cream detailing. The coaches were dark green, with the ‘DR’ logo on them, for ‘Deutsche Reichsbahn’.

At Potsdamer Platz 1986. A Zündapp KS50 Brommer parked foreground. M-Bahn, Weinhaus Huth and the Berlin Wall in the background.

The Berlin Wall at dusk, June 1986.

West Berlin Stresemannstrasse 1986. 

Berlin 1986. Scene near the Reichstag building 1986.

The Berlin Wall at the Brandenburg Gate June 1986.

The Berlin Wall seen from further along Bernauer Strasse. Rheinsberger Strasse on the East Berlin side is very much restricted by the Wall installations and fences. I am being photographed as I was taking this shot by a guard in the watchtower. I also took a close-up which shows him, see it here from my posting in May 2018.

East Berlin Rheinsberger Strasse in 1986, seen over the Berlin Wall on Bernauer Strasse.

The Berlin Wall on Bernauer Strasse 1986. This guy appears to be running a car repair business right up against the Berlin Wall.

West Berlin Bernauer Strasse 1986. The memorial to Olga Segler, who died at this spot trying to escape to the West.

Berlin Bernauer Strasse 1986. The Berlin Wall crosses over the junction with Ruppiner Strasse.

Lichtenrade Bahnhofstrasse in 1986. The roof behind the shops is part of the Katholische Gemeinde Salvator, which is perhaps why the religious ladies with the white caps on appear in a few of my photos taken here.

A section of ‘Third Phase’ Berlin Wall, made from horizontal slabs of concrete topped by an anti-grapple pipe, surrounding the Lichtenrade district, with a watchtower in the empty fields beyond. Picture taken 1986.

The Berlin Wall and DDR Grenzpolizei at Luckauer Strasse and Waldemarstrasse, 1986.
