Berlin Wall Sites Near Tunnel 37 – Brunnenstraße
A memorial plaque marks the site of an escape tunnel through which 37 people reached freedom from East to West Berlin. The tunnel was one of at least seven dug within a 350-metre stretch near Bernauer Straße between 1962 and 1971. Today, Berliner Unterwelten e.V. maintains an access point in the cellars beneath this building, allowing visitors to see the only original escape tunnel still visible beneath the former Wall.
