Inhoudsopgave
Hoe ging je van West-Berlijn naar West Duitsland?
Voor het luchtverkeer naar West-Berlijn werd gebruikgemaakt van drie luchtwegen. Naast dat het de snelste manier was om West-Berlijn te bereiken, was het tevens de enige manier om zonder DDR-controles West-Berlijn te bereiken. Alleen geallieerde luchtvaartmaatschappijen mochten vliegen op West-Berlijn.
Waarom was er Oost en West Duitsland?
De DDR blijft economisch achter op de BRD en daarom vluchten veel mensen via Berlijn naar het vrije westen. In Berlijn is de grens namelijk gewoon open. Deze situatie is onhoudbaar en daarom bouwen de Oost-Duitse machthebbers de Berlijnse Muur.
How long was West Berlin under military occupation?
West Berlin remained under military occupation until 3 October 1990, the day of unification of East Germany, East and West Berlin with Federal Republic of Germany.
What was the difference between West Berlin and East Berlin?
West Berlin was now de facto a part of West Germany with a unique legal status, while East Berlin was de facto a part of East Germany. John F. Kennedy gave his ” Ich bin ein Berliner ” speech in 1963, underlining the US support for the Western part of the city. Berlin was completely divided.
How did the west respond to the Berlin Blockade?
In 1948, the Soviets tried to force the Western Allies out of Berlin by imposing a land blockade on the western sectors—the Berlin Blockade. The West responded by using its air corridors for supplying their part of the city with food and other goods through the Berlin Airlift.
Why did so many people move to West Berlin?
Many people moved to West Berlin from towns in the West that they found to be too stuffy and cramped and pursued alternative lifestyles that would have been unthinkable elsewhere in West Germany. A typical model of such alternative living was (and is) the ufaFabrik with its many cultural projects in Tempelhof.

De enige oplossing die de DDR zag was het omringen van West-Berlijn met een muur. In de nacht van 12 op 13 augustus 1961 werd er begonnen met de bouw van de Berlijnse Muur door het communistische Oost-Duitsland. Geleidelijk werd heel West-Berlijn omringd met een 2 meter hoge muur.
