In the years that we lived there, the Wall had already disappeared for a decade, but the Todesstreifen on the edge of the buildings was still so recognizable that it didn’t take much imagination to imagine the Wall and the watchtowers. The zone, about 100 meters wide, was already somewhat overgrown. Between the bushes ran a tarnished, asphalted path, then for the Vopos to patrol, now ideal for cycling or for a short walk between stories.
