"In the middle of the square here you will find a statue of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, the fathers of Communism.
After the end of WW2, Germany was divided. The Americans, British and French created West Germany, while the Soviets created East Germany. It's safe to say that with conflicting political, economic and social ideologies, these two sides did not get along. A wall was built in 1961 dividing East and West Berlin to stop people from fleeing from Socialist East Germany to the Capitalist West Berlin. This wall divided friends and families for 28 years, until it was finally torn down in 1989. The Berlin Wall has left a lasting impression on the city. "
