Tour M – Underground to freedom Tunnel escapes under the Berlin Wall Since the SED regime built the Berlin Wall in August 1961, there have been repeated attempts to use self-dug escape tunnels to pass under the deadly barriers and thus reach freedom. The first tunnel project "ran" in October 1961, the last failed in 1982. In total, there were more than 70 escape tunnel projects that were actually started, but only 19 of them were successful. They helped over 300 GDR citizens escape from East to West Berlin to freedom. There were spectacular successes, betrayals and bitter failures. A real "cat-and-mouse game" soon developed between tunnel builders and the GDR state security, under increasingly difficult conditions for those helping to escape and those wanting to escape. During the two-hour tour, we go to a central location of the events: Bernauer Strasse, a focal point of the construction of the Wall and a focus of escape tunnel construction. The border installations were tunneled under here seven times over a distance of just 350 meters. The particularly low groundwater level here made it possible to build escape tunnels at great depths. After an introduction to the topic, we first visit authentic locations of spectacular escape tunnel projects above ground. Then we go underground: In the historic vaults of the former Oswald Berliner Brewery, we use original-scale tunnel replicas to report on betrayed and failed tunnel projects as well as the two most successful projects from the time of the Berlin Wall: "Tunnel 29" and "Tunnel 57". As a new highlight, an original escape tunnel from 1970/71 has been on display since November 2019 - eight meters below the surface. This is accessed via a 30-meter-long visitor tunnel, which was built by Berliner Unterwelten eV over a year and a half. It is the only real escape tunnel that can still be visited today. The tour was awarded the Berlin Wall seal of approval. After the tour, we recommend a visit to the Berlin Wall Memorial.
