Wall Memorial - Chapel of Reconciliation

            Light and shadow inside the Chapel of Reconciliation in Berlin-Mitte. This analog capture was taken with Nikon D90X and T-max 100 Asa film roll (35 mm).

Wall construction and effects

With the building of the Wall on August 13, 1961, the border situation of the Reconciliation Church became drastically worse: On August 21, the main portal of the church wall - about ten meters in front of the building - was bricked up three meters high. This prevented the church members from West Berlin from entering their church. 
The church and the vicarage and community center were in the Soviet sector in the eastern part of Berlin.

Two months later, from October 23, 1961, churchgoers on the GDR side were also forbidden to enter the church: the church was now in the so-called "death strip" of the GDR border security systems - and was therefore closed by the state. 
Peak of unscrupulousness: the GDR border troops used the church tower of the Church of Reconciliation as a watchtower with a machine gun turret.
